You might give a try down near Crown Point. I've fished there in the middle of July the last couple years and have done quite well.
I troll in the boat, concentrating on the foam lines or hugging the bank and fishing about 15-19 feet deep. I troll dodgers and worm-tipped spinners, but rapalas work too.
Upstream of Crown Point is a culvert sticking out of the hillside below the walking trail. I saw a guy pull up there one time in a boat and tie up. He caught a limit of nice trout in the 16-18 inch range by throwing out unweighted worms as far as he could. You could walk there if you are willing to walk about 1/2 mile.
The original channel is right there up against that steep bank and it gets late morning shade there too.
Fishing seems to be best there between 7:30am and when the sun hits it about 11:30.
If you troll, don't waste your time fishing deeper than about 20 feet. The dissolved oxygen goes to near zero below that. Too shallow, and you're in too warm of water for the trout.
Good luck...
