I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.

What the current record shows

The species currently tied to Mystery Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.

How I would fish it

For somebody fishing Mystery Lake for the first time, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
