I have never fished the lake in question, but since you asked for recommendations of books I thought I would share.
I have a book I bought on line called Ultimate Freshwater Fishing by John Bailey that has been very useful to me in situations where I have never been before. It has an overview of almost any freshwater fishing you can imagine. It does not go into depth on any one thing, but is thorough enough to help a lot. It also has a lot of color photos and drawings to show habitat and such.
Another book I use a lot is Freshwater Fishing Tips and Techniques by Gene Kugach. If I had to choose between the two I would choose this one. Although the book by Bailey has a lot more color and polish the book by Kugach is more basic and shows a lot of the lures/baits to use. It is more like having your Uncle Bob show you how to fish.
I also have a very useful book called Washington Fishing by Terry Rudnic which is part of the Foghorn Outdoors series. I am not sure if there are books in the series for all states, but it goes through county by county and gives some basic information about each body of water. It is helpful in exploring new water near by.
I hope I have helped a bit...good luck to you!
