Wallace Lake is a lake in Lemhi County, Idaho.
Without a dependable size figure for Wallace Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Wallace Lake include Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Redside Shiner, Tiger Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a low-light period near the downwind side in clear water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
On a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch before changing depth, use a small spoon or minnow bait on light line around cool, open water for tiger trout.
Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Tiger 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.
On a check of nearby water near an open-water edge with a moving bait, 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.
While using a point-to-pocket comparison near a channel bend in stained water, 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.
During the final pass near a channel bend with a moving bait, 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 low-light period near a rocky edge where two features meet, 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.
