Fish species in Thirtythree Lake

Official stocking history

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.

Thirtythree Lake is a lake in Valley County, Idaho.

No reliable acreage is listed for Thirtythree Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Thirtythree Lake include Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Lake Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

On a return to the best bank near a small drop in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

Golden 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.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat after warm rain, 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.

Season by Season

While using a brief open-water pass near the outside weed line after warm rain, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a short evening pass near a small drop with a slow lure, 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 quick scouting pass near a channel bend under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
