Haven't found a ryhme or reason as to where yet (working pretty much the whole lake and probably 1000+ casts a day). I'm told they grow a lot bigger than that in Rock Lake, but those are the biggest I've found so far.

I say that you will need to learn them yourself because each of us seem to find our own way. I know of a guy that does well with Rapalas trolled deep with a downrigger. I know of people that do well with crankbaits along the shore. I do very well, but I have my own milk run I do on the lake, depending on the weather and time of day, each with a different method.
I have caught and released several 30"+ Browns, and a few Bows in that size, so they are there. But keep in mind, there is so much food in that lake that they don't need to eat burgers when Stake is available.
