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.
Vanity Lake #06 is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 3.15 acres.
On a water as small as Vanity Lake #06, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
On a bright afternoon near a small drop while the water is falling, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a careful second pass near a small drop before changing areas, 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.
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove with light wind, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow 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.
During the first pass near a small drop close to shade, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a short cover-to-depth check near scattered wood with a slow lure, 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 a quick scouting pass near a firm-bottom flat 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 final pass near a windblown shore near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
