I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Kelly Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Kelly Lake for the first time, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
