Tango Lake #4 is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 13.64 acres.
On a water as small as Tango Lake #4, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Tango Lake #4 include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On an overcast morning near a channel bend before changing areas, Cutthroat Trout, and 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.
How to Read the Water
On a check of nearby water near a protected point with light wind, 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.
Season by Season
While using a quick look at firm bottom near the edge of deeper water in stained water, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
On a cold winter outing near scattered wood after warm rain, 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 careful second pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
