Wright Lake is a lake in Lemhi County, Idaho.
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.
Wright Lake is a lake in Lemhi County, Idaho and covers about 3.13 acres.
The small size of Wright Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a cool spring morning near a small drop with a moving bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a short evening pass near the edge of deeper water near visible bait, 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.
On a methodical search near the outside weed line with stable weather, Arctic Grayling, 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 slow shoreline pass near the first break in clear water, 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 careful look at water color near a narrow cove in clear 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.
On an overcast morning near the downwind side in clear water, 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.
During the first hour near a rocky edge while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
