Star Hope Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho.
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.
Star Hope Lake is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 1.14 acres.
Star Hope Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Star Hope Lake include Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout.
On a cool spring morning near a shallow shelf after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Arctic Grayling, Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow 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 cool spring morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, 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 careful route near scattered wood with stable weather, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
On a methodical search near the first break before changing depth, 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 short evening pass near scattered wood close to shade, 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.
