Upper Turtle Lake is a lake on the Barron County map and the water facts we have show about 427 acres and a maximum depth of 25 feet, so you know roughly what you are getting into before loading the boat or walking the bank.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by making an honest pass along one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects Upper Turtle Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on 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 learn the lake
Going into a first day on Upper Turtle Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
