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.
Wahoo Lake is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho and covers about 7 acres.
On a water as small as Wahoo Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
On a cold winter outing near the outside weed line with light wind, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a slow shoreline pass near a quiet corner under flat light, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During the first pass near the outside weed line with a slow lure, Cutbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow 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.
On an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat with a slow lure, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a point-to-pocket comparison near a creek-side turn after a cold night, 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 check of nearby water near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
On a short evening pass near a small drop before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
