For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch at Indian Lake; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stick with what produces signs of life.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Indian Lake tomorrow, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
