Solomon Lake is a lake in Boundary County, Idaho.
The recorded size of Solomon Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Solomon Lake include Pumpkinseed and Rainbow Trout.
On a methodical search near a quiet corner with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
On a steady fall day near a rocky edge where two features meet, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, 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 quick scouting pass near a small drop with a slow lure, 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 one pass beside the best cover near a creek-side turn in stained water, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the first pass near the downwind side in clear water, 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 check of nearby water near the mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
