Lees Lake belongs to Polk County and is listed as a lake with a published profile of about 5 acres and a maximum depth of 7 feet, and that is the kind of basic information I actually want before fishing somewhere new.

I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits by making an honest pass along 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.
The fish list
I would not plan around one specific fish at Lees Lake from the current record alone; before i planned around a specific fish, i would check the latest exact-water dnr information, and without assuming the bite will be easy just because the fish are listed.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Lees Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
