I think it depends on the kind of fish. Really, it is no different that finding fish in a river.
Rainbows tend to be open water fish. They swim around eating zoplankton. But, brook trout aren't necessarily the same. They tend to stick to cover, whether in a lake or a stream. Look for rocks, logs, etc. -- any structure that the brook trout can hide under.
Cutts can be like either a brook trout or a rainbow. I'd stick to fishing cover, unless they are actively slurping from the surface.
Don't try to make things any harder than what they are. You know how to find fish in a stream -- pools, runs, etc. It's not much different on a lake. Look for points, humps, drop-offs, etc. Fish still like cover and structure.
