If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic by giving the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach more than a couple of throwaway casts and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Upper Sparta Pond includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout, plus 1 more; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Upper Sparta Pond, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
