Headed to Redfish for a family reunion first week in August and want to sneak away for some fishing.

Will have a boat to do some trolling and wondered what you'd recommend as far as which lake is best option.

Leaning toward Alturas but definitely could use some advice.

Thanks much in advance.

Go back to pages 2 and 5, for thorough discussion of this topic. If there are lots of posts between this writing and your going back in the history, those numbers may be off by one. Look for the posts on "Stanley" and "Alturas". Also a post today on Stanley. Good fishing. Mike

Read em, thanks. Sounds like pop gear is the best bet trolling.

anybody fish either lake in the past month or so with a report?

i dont know how either are fishing but alturas is a ways out there. i think its around 30 miles from redfish while stanley is only about 12 (the other direction). I will be up there late that first week and a bit into the next. I will be fishing the inlets to all 3 of them at some point.

We fished Stanley all last weekend. Caught lots of small rainbows and Kokes. Used a worm behind ford fenders. It was consistent all day 1fish/hr. But the first couple hours of the morning it was very good.
