Clear Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Chippewa County with published numbers of about 9 acres and a maximum depth of 5 feet, so the size of the job is pretty easy to understand before you go.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Clear Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Clear 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 Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
