the large lake with the island in it ( i can never remember which is upper, middle and lower) has the most size variation and numbers. you have to do a lot of exploring around the lake to find the larger ones. but it produces the most consisitent of the three. the next larger lake (i think it is the middle lake) contains brookies and i have never had much luck in that lake and most people i talked to fishing it never caught much out of it but it does have some big brookies in it if you can convince them to bite. i have fished that lake probably 5 - 8 times in the last 10 yrs and have probably 2 fish to show for all that effort.
the smallest lake (McDonald Lake, what a great name) is the trophy lake and has the size and limit restriciton on it. they implemented it last year so there should be some nice sized fish in there this year. last year when we fished it, we could not keep the stockers off the flies. they would hit the fly on the back cast in a lot of cases. landed close to 100 fish each that day. as long as people abide by the regs and respect the lake, there are going to be some bruisers coming out of there in a few years.
so your best bet is the larger lake for size variations but McDonald lake might be your best bet for that larger fish.
