If you just want to catch a laker on the fly, and it doesn't need to be big, you should try the Green River Lakes up in Wyoming. I took my tube out there a few summers ago and caught macs, brookies, and rainbows on a type II line and mohair leeches and buggers. I had one morning fishing right at the outlet where if I fished the shallower side with more current I'd catch bows, macs if I fished the deeper slack side. They weren't monsters, but they still doubled up my 6wt and bulldogged like crazy.
As for walleye, if you keep fishing Deer Creek for smallmouth, you'll probably luck into one eventually. I caught a 26" on a mohair leech and a type II line there. I guess you're moving down south though, so your eye options will likely be limited. Still, being able to fish year round for nice bass at Sand Hollow sounds pretty good right about now as there's snow on the ground in my yard and I think I'm done for the year.
