End of June early July....The water in the largest part of the lake (lower part) is pretty clear but the water is pretty warm.  Upper Part water is much more stained almost muddy with cooler water, almost 10 degrees cooler in some places.  Where would you start?  The upper part it is tough to find some good deep water!  It's mostly a river run with lots of lay downs and things like that in shallow water.  You have one day of practice before fishing a tournament.  How would you set up your practice day?

I would try a shallow crankbait in the laydowns.
