Little Redfish Lake is a mountain lake along Redfish Lake Creek in Custer County, Idaho, about 1 mile (1.6 km) downstream from the larger Redfish Lake. It is located on the northeast edge of the Sawtooth Range within the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Stanley along State Highway 75.[1] The lake drains to the Salmon River.

Quick Facts Location, Coordinates ...

Little Redfish Lake has a surface elevation of 6,489 feet (1,978 m) above sea level, while the main Redfish Lake sits at 6,547 feet (1,996 m). Both lakes are named for the red-scaled sockeye salmon that returned every year to spawn via the Salmon River prior to the construction of dams on the lower Snake River.

Besides the red-scaled salmon that come to this lake, Little Redfish Lake also has a clay pit, located at the bottom of the lake.

In 1961, Richard Brautigan wrote portions of his novella Trout Fishing in America while camping near the lake, which is featured in several chapters of the book.[2]
