Plummer Lake is a lake in Elmore County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Plummer Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Plummer Lake include Rainbow Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a methodical search near scattered wood beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
On a short evening pass near scattered wood with light wind, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
On a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a quick look at firm bottom near the edge of deeper water where food is present, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
On a low-light period near a small drop near visible bait, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
On a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
