The bass fishing has been relatively slow at Prosser , as well as nearby Stampede Reservoir , over the last few weeks , according to Miles Timmerman at Trout Creek Outfiters . “ The surface temperatures are still very warm on the lakes , where the dog days of summer have been felt the most ,” he advised . However , like the river , the cooling trend of the last week should improve the bite in the weeks to come . Historically , September is a great month for smallmouth bass fishing , and all the signs are good as we head into fall .” “ Stripping small white streamers , gurglers , and crease flies will be effective in the month to come . If you prefer to throw streamers , smallmouth will respond to hard , erratic strips and long pauses .

Balanced leeches , balanced minnows , and large chironomids under an indicator will also be a good bet . The cutthroat are holding in deep water right now , and will be difficult for most anglers to access without a little creativity ,” he tipped . “ The cutthroat should move closer to shore as the thermocline draws nearer to the surface in the weeks to come . Bait balls are already beginning to form in some creek arms around sStampede , pointing to a strong spawn this spring . The fishing in the high-country lakes continues to be phenomenal , as always ,” he concluded .
