Thankfully, the clear water supports some remarkable top water fishing in early summer. Dead sticking floating baits (big one's) will call up fish from surprisingly deep water, including the browns -- they really smack em! Try this technique along the willow bank flats that are just north of the landowners beach area about halfway up the lake on the east side. That flat is huge, you can work the top well out from the bank.
I'd keep fishing the bass at this lake more often but it gets difficult for me to get my boat in (AND OUT) of the water later in the summer when the water drops. Check out Downs and Lake Spokane (Long Lake) for some other good options. Good Luck.
Archer, yeah our prevailing winds just so happen to perfectly line up with the south end of the lake, and to make things worse you've got to stay in the middle of that section to avoid the lakes namesake! No shelter along the banks, just grin and bear it!
