I've fished "The Pack" many times, but not in quite awhile. However I've always had good luck on the dam side of the lake. Shuman's point is good for striper's, then the area of Epply island is good for smalies. I also fish the Caffrey area, both from the shore and boat for smalies. (If from the shore, I'd toss some power worms in blue or black off the docks.) The area of red rock (which is just down the lake from the caffrey) there's a nice sized weed bed that I'd also toss some power worms into. I've never had any luck up the other end (near Ledgedale) But a cousin of mine caught a MONSTER channel cat up there. And a guy I worked with caught a near-record rainbow up the river. As far as the Church, it's just a legend, according to the Corps of Engineers all the building were demolished before the lake was impounded, however some of the foundations were still there... Hope this helps you out.
