Teal Reservoir is a public lake in Lincoln County, Idaho, managed by Idaho Department of Fish and Game. It is public water managed for fishing by Idaho Fish and Game. Public access confirmed via IDFG public hydrography + access site.
An Idaho trout reservoir (Cascade, Dworshak, Ririe, Mackay, Island Park, Anderson Ranch) — heavily stocked rainbow trout plus kokanee, smallmouth bass and yellow perch; Dworshak holds a landlocked kokanee and bull-trout fishery.
Teal Reservoir covers about 6 acres in the Magic Valley region. Anglers here mostly fish for rainbow trout, kokanee, smallmouth bass, yellow perch; bull trout are also on record. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Seeding Reservoir and Star Lake.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Idaho; many rivers and streams have a Memorial-Day-weekend-to-November 30 general season, and steelhead/salmon/sturgeon water is open only by annual rule — check the current IDFG fishing seasons and rules for this water.
Boats: The big lakes and reservoirs (Pend Oreille, Coeur d'Alene, Cascade, Dworshak, American Falls, C.J. Strike) take trailered boats via a state or Forest Service ramp; alpine lakes are hike-in float-tube water and rivers are drift-boat or raft.
Bank & bivvy camping: Idaho is around 63% federal land — dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, alongside developed Forest Service, state-park and IDFG-access campgrounds.
Tackle: Idaho's general trout limit is 6, but a large number of waters are managed as wild-trout, quality, trophy or catch-and-release with reduced limits and gear restrictions; bull trout are catch-and-release statewide and steelhead/salmon need separate permits and annual seasons. Check the current IDFG rules for this water.
Anyone 14 or older needs an Idaho fishing licence — the resident annual is about $30.50, the non-resident annual about $98.25 (Idaho's non-resident fee is one of the highest in the country), with a non-resident 1-day (~$23.50) plus $6/consecutive-day option. Steelhead and salmon each need a separate permit. Idaho residents 65 and older buy a reduced-fee licence; under-14 fish free with a licensed adult. Buy from IDFG at idfg.idaho.gov. An Idaho fishing licence covers this water — it is on IDFG's public-waters hydrography (steelhead and salmon each need a separate permit).
