Just seeing if there are any anglers in the beaver lake area. If so, what are some of your favorite techniques, baits, and colors?

I fish it now and then, tough lake.  I might get out there this week if it ever stops raining.  I'll probably throw a jig, t-rigged plastics, and have a top water on the deck ready to go just in case.  May throw a crank also.  Hard to say what's going to work, the weather lately has not been typical August weather.

Another Beaver Lake fisherman here - my In-Laws live in Beaver Cove near point 5 (between the Clifty's). I visit at least half a dozen times a year and I fish out of my 17' aluminum and my solo canoe, too. In the solo I tend to stay in the cove, but I have paddled all the way to the back of both Cliftys. Anyway - I like finesse jigs and shaky heads around docks, and I use smaller swimbaits and cranks a lot, too. I've been using compact (but heavy) spinnerbaits more and more - in rainy or cloudy weather you can get a good bite going on windswept banks.

Early morning is topwater time this time of year. Of course in cold weather it's suspending jerkbaits.

Check out the Ozark Angles Forum for more info on Beaver. Like mentioned, it's often a tough lake to catch fish on. It gets a LOT of tournament pressure and the fish are notoriously fickle. But there are a lot of bass to catch if you can figure them out.
