I'd recommend the 7wt with sinking lines. I normally use a conventional rod on Oroville, I have not figured it out well enough to use a fly rod and not exhaust my arm. Spinner baits work well out there, and so do worms bounce on the bottom.
As far as fly fishing goes, try the back of coves and rocky points. Use something that sinks well like clouser minnows. I have caught only a few fish using topwater lures, you can try topwater but I don't think that it'll work well. I've also done well on shallows rip baits, very fast and crazy rapala like lures, so I think a clouser will be a good idea.
Good luck out there
