Trout are available in the lake year round. Trolling spoons or a combination of a small dodger and a spinner will produce fairly consistantly. Leaded line is an inexpensive alternative to downriggers.
Tons of pearch in the fall and plenty of opportunities for smallmouth. I'm sure others will kick in with more tips/techniques. You can e-mail me if you would like more specifics regarding trolling for cuttthroat.
