This was the first time I've fished the upper end of the lake. Current was flowing of 60K CFM so it made the fishing very tough. One of my go to lures when it's tough is a small 2.8 Keitech Swimbait on a 1/8th ounce or 3/16 ounce head. I throw this on a Lew's signature series 7'0 spinning rod and a Lew's HyperMag spinning reel with 10 lb braid and 10 lb Sunline FC leader. This setup is really light and allows me to fish comfortability all day. There are not many creeks on the upper end of the lake but when you find them, I like to target the mouths of the creek this time of year.
