Fishing report: Stanley area lakes.

I am having trouble finding good fishing reports for Alturas, Stanley and Redfish lake. Can you provide some assistance or a good source. We plan on trolling with downriggers but can change up if needed. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Answer: 
Hi there. The Bent Rod Outdoors shop (208-879-2500) in Challis is a great source of info for recent fishing reports at some of those lakes. McCoy's Tackle shop (208-774-3377) in Stanley could also probably give you some good reports. Stanley Lake typically gets more pressure in the fall, winter, and spring for Lake Trout. Alturas and Redfish are fished quite a bit throughout the summer by tourists, and can be quite good at certain times of the year. Make sure you study the regs to know what you can and can't target/keep.
