i am thinking of heading out to a local lake sunday mornin to rent a boat
and do some trout fishing.
my question is this: does one use different flies for that kind of trout
fishing than for stream fishing? if so, what?

Lake fishing is very different from stream fishing, and there are many
ways to do it. For now, try stripping a woolly bugger, or if there are
rises try putting a dry fly right on top of the rise. Because there's no
current you can't tell where the trout are unless you see them. They
cruise around looking for food. Good places to fish are the inlet, the
outlet, dropoffs, points, and weed beds, but the fish could be anywhere.
