    Default Tahoe area lakes in August?

    Anyone have insight on Stampede or Prosser for smallmouth in August.

    Any input would be appreciated.

    I will be in the area for a family gathering and am anticipating dog day related slowness for trout.

    Thanks

    Trout will still be doable......just not on a dry so much..(Maybe a Calibeatis hatch at dawn)...industrial nymphing will do it.
    Bass will be deep as well. Think trolling........
    I like using my 8wt with a 300gr. sinking line.
    The face of a dam is worth a try.
    Inlets too.

    Thanks Jim!
    I will probably dredge the Truckee with my Euro rig. I'll give the smallies a shot as well.

    The river water is very clear, and the fish are pressured........working close is a challenge right now.
    I recommend a big stick......my 6wt switch is the tool of choice.
    River is warm near town..63-4 deg....and slowing mid-day.
    Take a headlight.
