If its clear the fish will be deeper. Probably not a good lake to be longlining in since its hard to get real deep when longlining. I fish several clear lakes in my area and I tightline pretty close to the bottom to catch the fish.......do some riding around, mark some deeper area of the lake and then try tightlining real slow around the area. I don't know of this chain or the characteristics of the lakes so my suggestions are pure speculation and references to how I approach clear bodies of water. Good luck.
