The second area to get good was always the inside hydrilla line - usually about 6-7 feet deep. You can cast or troll that. After that, the outside line - anywhere from 13' - 18' deep. With the big rise there will be a lot of trees and bushes in the water but with the spillway gates open and both generators running the fish might pull out a little deeper. Good luck.
