you'll find them in pretty much the same places you'd find them on most other lakes ... shallow shoreline brush/wood, stumpbeds, around docks, under floating mats of debris that are blown into pockets/corners, etc.
I'd fish for them whichever way allowed me to present my bait to them, depending on where & how deep they were. Minnows under a slip float, for shallow wood/brush cover along the banks ... jigs for single brush piles, and deeper wood cover ... longline trolling or spider rigging, for prespawn/scattered fish and fish working their way into the backs of creeks/coves (jigs or minnows, depending on your preferred method).
Right now, with the lake being up 8ft over the dam repair depth limit, and muddy from end to end, I wouldn't bother venturing down there. But, with warmer weather, and stabilized water depths ... I'd go into the backs of some of the creeks, and work my way out.
