I'm not much help for the trolling part but when I fished it on September 30 from my tube I found the fish to be in the upper part of the water column.  I was using a medium sink fly line with about 55' of line out so I was fishing about 12' - 15' down.  I caught both rainbows and smallmouth in the southern part of the reservoir, south from Taylor Hollow.

Good luck when you go.

On the water at daybreak trolled #7 brokeback rainbow  Rapala on lead core out 100' and hooked up right out of the marina.  Good action up high till 9:00.  Switched to kokanee gear down 30' and ended the day with 2 limits of bows.  Biggest was 18". Hope that helps.   Good luck.

Tks guys....hope to give a report if all works as planned and we actually make it there...

Joe,

I'm heading up there in just a few minutes.  I'll let you know how we do.  ?
