On the map, Lewis Lake shows up as a lake in Sawyer County with the latest inventory showing about 52 acres and a maximum depth of 15 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 by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Lewis Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Lewis Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
