Can't help on the lake, but regarding the lures. Can use live(minnows/worms/crickets) or artifical lures, grubs, jigs, etc. There are several different methods/styles to fish for crappie, such as float n fly, jigging, trolling or longlining, spider rigging, jigging brush piles, pulling or pushing cranks. Spider rigging usually involves using live minnows under a Caps n Coleman rig, or similar, most other styles use artifical lures, but some do jig live minnows around brush piles or standing timber. And yes, you can use a fly rod for crappie and blue gill as well, check out crappiedotcom, you'll find more info there than you can digest in short time. There is a GA forum, so you might be able to get some tips on your lake in question.
