Brockie Lake, Idaho: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Brockie Lake is listed under Butte County, Idaho. The land about it is pine and birch. At 9 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Idaho listings. Sun Valley lies 25 miles from the water. Boise sits 117 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Brockie Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. County-wide records name rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and Arctic grayling. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Anyone new to Brockie Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 17°F in December up to 53°F in July. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late May. Break-up near late May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Brockie Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Green Lake is 1.2 miles distant. For Brockie Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
