Vanity Lake #07 is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 3.6 acres.
Vanity Lake #07 is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Vanity Lake #07 include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
On a low-light period near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, 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.
How to Read the Water
On an overcast morning near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Season by Season
While using one check of the nearest drop near a channel bend beside useful cover, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
On a careful second pass near a narrow cove away from empty shoreline, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
On a calm morning near the edge of deeper water while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
