Upper Stevens Lake is a lake in Shoshone County, Idaho.
The recorded size of Upper Stevens Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Upper Stevens Lake include Brook Trout.
During the final pass near an open-water edge with a moving bait, rainbow 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 an overcast morning near the outside weed line 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.
While using a small search around the first point near a channel bend beside useful cover, 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 careful second pass near a shallow shelf near firm bottom, 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 an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest 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.
