Blue Lake sits in Stone County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one straightforward shoreline stretch as the first place to work through the first pattern before adding more tackle. I would work one sheltered shoreline stretch long enough to see whether the first idea has any life in it, because the first trip does not need to solve the whole lake.
Blue Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Blue Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would judge what the first hour actually shows me and plan modestly until I can judge the lake in person. The lack of exact measurements on Blue Lake makes one short section of water a sensible place to begin and use that section to learn the scale of the place.
Fishing This Water
Species information for Blue Lake is limited, so I would use one light rod with a few small artificials and a bottom rig so I can learn what actually responds before specializing. I would keep the second tackle change off the table on Blue Lake until I judge the first adjustment so I can tell whether depth or presentation is making the difference.
A Practical Blue Lake Game Plan
For a first trip to Blue Lake, I would fish one easy-to-read part of the lake long enough to judge the plan before moving, then rethink only what the first few bites justify and stay with a productive clue once one appears. After Blue Lake gives me something repeatable around one promising starting zone, I would give that idea more time instead of immediately looking elsewhere, and I would let the rest of the lake wait until I understand that clue.
