The most consistent is the point fish that stack up on certain areas and wait for the baitfish to school up around a point of land extending out into the lake. Clouser minnow flies, and weighted wiggly leg patterns work best for these fish.
There are the school tucs that will attack in the middle of the lake to the shoreline ravaging schools of baitfish. You must be quick to get your bait on top of these guys, as they will disappear as quickly as the came. I like small clousers or crazy charlie's for these fast moving fish for a quick and stealthy presentation.
Tucs and large mouth bass differ in that the tucs will school up and act more like a predatory saltwater fish. They will become for active with the more noise you make and the more action you cause when fighting a fish. They are very competitive and will follow the hooked fish into the beach for a look for leftovers, so have bait or a buddies fly ready for that second fish. Large mouth tend to be loners around logs or in spawning beds and require and gentle presentation of the fly or lure.
