If you are looking at Leech Lake, you are looking at a Sauk County reservoir with a published profile of about 4 acres; a dependable maximum depth is not in the current record, and that is the kind of basic information I actually want before fishing somewhere new.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
The fishery on paper
I am leaving the fish list for Leech Lake alone until there is better exact-water evidence; before i planned around a specific fish, i would check the latest exact-water dnr information, and without assuming the bite will be easy just because the fish are listed.
My game plan
If I had a few hours to figure out Leech Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
