On the map, LeClaire Lake shows up as a lake in Price County with published numbers of about 29 acres and a maximum depth of 14 feet, and that is the kind of basic information I actually want before fishing somewhere new.

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to LeClaire Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to LeClaire Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
