Up in Sawyer County, Beverly Lake is a lake and the current record puts it at about 17 acres and a maximum depth of 28 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with a short rotation through the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
What anglers can target
The current fish list for Beverly Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Beverly Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
