I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten with most of my time going to shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
Species already recorded for Bear Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
For an uncomplicated day on Bear Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
