On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more for Upper Springstead Lake; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Upper Springstead Lake without overdoing it, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
