For big browns we always trolled the original long skinny rapalas behind some smaller cowbells, light leader far behind boat.... big trout need bigger meals

Are you talking about a floating repella
Yup the “original” i guess. Haven’t fished that lake but used them from NY to WY for big trout, what’s deep? 30 to 40 foot? Kokes and walleye we go 1 to 1.5mph, trout 2 to 2.5 told trout like a chase more but vary and let the fish decide. Showed up at Merwin with kicker not starting, trolled with 90 hp twice as fast as always been told works for kokes and we limited quick, who knows

Only river I have ever fished in Oregon was the Mackenzie, fished 6# test with a small splitshot 8 inches above the hook which was a 6 some would say kind of big for trout but trout in rivers hit fast and inhale the worm so theres no missing out using a #6 hook. Good fishing.

So you're talking trolling the floating rapella on top of the water
At whatever depth the fish are, possibly shallower early and late, deeper daytime. Downrigger or ball sinkers 5 oz or so depending on cowbell lure drag vs speed 150ft back

I'm assuming you mean Lemolo, Umpqua basin area, right ?
If so, I would troll NON-FLOATING Rapalas, preferably the larger, the better, to imitate the Kokanee that the brownies love to lunch on. I have had decent luck with a white w/blue belly jointed one about 7"-8" long, both there and Lake of the Woods chasing browns.
You might also try 5", 6"swimbaits with a Dipsy Diver to get it deep....my buddy Harold swears by that rigging (but then... Harold swears ALOT, period.....lol....... about damn near everything !)
Good luck over there ! Let us know how you do.
They had a 17lb'r come out of Lemolo a few years ago. It was a young man who was fishing from a float tube. Apparently he got towed around for a good while !

Trolling floating rapala off of downrigger or ball weight the lure will stay level with what ever depth you place the weight, I like the more exact placement or light spoons same reason. After seeing some big browns on the newer scatter rap may have to try that one, more erratic action kinda like original wiggle wart before they changed them. Hard to go wrong with any of the rapalas as long as right size for the forage
Was talking to fella about going lake fishing browns in Wyoming with him but gonna concentrate on drifting the north platte by Casper first, 3 to 4K trout per mile of river
