Donavan Lake is a named lake in Price County and the physical record currently shows about 4 acres and a maximum depth of 14 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

I would keep the first trip pretty simple by checking what is happening around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Donavan Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Donavan Lake together, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
