I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would make the opening plan about one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Townsend Flowage include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Townsend Flowage, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
