Boot Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Chippewa County with the available record putting it at about 31 acres and a maximum depth of 20 feet, which is enough information to keep the first trip grounded and realistic.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with most of my time going to shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Boot Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds and easy cover for panfish and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Boot 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 check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
