Used to love flyfishing that lake in the early 1990s while going to school up there (woo, gettin' old).
There's a nice mayfly hatch about this time of year in the same area you mention in the early afternoons (or used to be). Used to fish a dry fly tan compara dun size 14-16.
And in the summer right around dark, there's a HUGE yellow mayfly hatch (forget the name, think it was a Hexagenia genus) that comes off the water. Some fish absolutely SMASH the surface at night for those things LOL.
Enough bug talk, nice fish...
