Saddleback Lakes is a lake in Custer County, Idaho.
Use the shape you can see at Saddleback Lakes: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Saddleback Lakes include Brook Trout.
On a short evening pass near the outside weed line under flat light, 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 bright afternoon near a narrow cove after warm rain, 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 careful look at water color near scattered wood with stable weather, 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 slow shoreline pass near a channel bend with a slow lure, 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.
During the first pass near a windblown shore with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
