I used to flyfish the creek on my way to Tahoe. Snakes are no problem for me. I am an active herpetologist too.
You are right about the lake. 20 feet is the key to getting into the prime zone of the thermocline. If you decided to bait fish them, a redworm on a #14 Owners Mosquito hook makes quite the presentation for them.
The San Juan Worm would work from the flyswatter. Summer time is good for using Clousers. I tie some with weighted eyes or with wire weight over the dubbing.
I have had luck with spinners out there too. Mepps Comets, Wardens Roostertails and even Panther Martins spinners. You just cast them out and count to about 20 or 25 before reeling in so that the spinner can sink down into the zone.[fishon]
