I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Lake Clara include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Lake Clara, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
