Just before you get to Port Ramp, there's the beach area at Rattlesnake Cove. It is possible to launch a tube or toon there, but it can be a steep climb getting one back up if you have heavy gear like a battery. And they used to lock it up for the winter, too.
Many times, you can launch in the morning and let the canyon wind waft you down to the Narrows at a perfect fishing speed. Calm comes about 10 am (fine time to eat lunch) and then about noon, the up-canyon breeze will take you right back again. Marvelous.
The area from Rattlesnake Cove to the dam is a No Wake zone, but the power guys still feel like they have to invade every square foot of the lake, so they trundle in and out of there.
Don't be overly surprised if you're reeling in a dinky perch or crappie only to have the rod go "freight train" bendo. Tiger muskie love to hit struggling fishlets. The fight won't last long before you reel in your cutoff line.
