Sliderock Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho.
Without a dependable size figure for Sliderock Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
On a warm summer afternoon near a creek-side turn before changing areas, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the final pass near a protected point with light wind, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During the first pass near scattered wood after a cold night, 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 calm morning near a shaded bank beside useful cover, 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 a windblown shore near visible bait, 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.
On a check of nearby water near a clean gravel patch after a cold night, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the last hour of daylight near a protected point where two features meet, 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.
