Fish species in PS Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

PS Lake is a lake in Elmore County, Idaho and covers about 11.13 acres.

On a water as small as PS Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for PS Lake include Cutbow Trout, Golden Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

On a low-light period near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, Golden 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.

How to Read the Water

During the first pass near scattered wood before changing areas, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using one careful route near the mouth of a pocket after a cold night, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first pass near a small drop before changing areas, 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 steady fall day near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
