You may see fish behind your ladder. A technique I have tried with success is simply to prowl the coast in a lonely spot casting and moving in one direction until I hit some fish. If the fish move parallel to the shore back and forth, eventually you'll hit some if you move consistently in one direction. Most recently I have been using a Spey Rod for this and it makes it very easy. I find this more interesting than sitting on a ladder.
Most people wisely stay close to the paved roads.
However, tales of the great fishing available of the eastern side of the lake or elsewhere can be enchanting. One absolutely has to remain on guard for loose sand. At one point on the east side I was seen driving my Subaru around in circles for fear of stopping and never moving again in the loose sand. The flies used are generally not too sophisticated, i.e. Wooly Buggers or Worms. There are lots of small baitfish seen in the shallows.
