Tough lake to get a handle on, I have fished it over the years and my best record is in the back where the Willy comes in. My largest Crappie came out of that lake; near School Creek. Trolling for the Land Locked Chinook is a blast in the Winter months. Your right about the chop on this lake, at times it is more like an inland sea..... luckily is has plenty of sheltered coves to grab a moments peace. I had a conversation with ODFW about the Walleye in that lake, doesn't seem like they are to concerned about them wiping out any species. Nice to hear about the motor, tight lines and calm waters to you.
