Slide Lake in Custer County is a lake in Idaho.
The recorded size of Slide Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Slide Lake include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf near firm bottom, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellowstone 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 a quiet corner where food is present, 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.
While using one careful route near a clean gravel patch with light wind, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the final pass near a quiet corner where food is present, 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 start of a weather change near a narrow cove under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
