Within Polk County, Fish Lake is identified as a lake; a practical first look would begin around one promising area near the launch, and I would stay close until I get a clear read from the first adjustment. I do not need to cover the whole lake on day one; I would fish one easy-to-read area near the launch until I learn something from the first few casts and build from there.
The dependable measurements for Fish Lake include about 44.8 surface acres, which is enough information to plan how large an area to fish while I stay around one manageable piece of water until I learn something from the nearby water.
There is not much exact-water species information published for Fish Lake, so I would keep the first outing flexible with one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one nearby piece of water until I learn something from the first hour. For a first trip on Fish Lake, I would use a simple presentation around one short piece of water and keep it there until I find a repeatable bite in the first area.
For Fish Lake, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one sheltered section of bank, avoid constant relocation, and change depth before changing every bait after I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment. Once I see a pattern develop in the first few casts, I would keep working one straightforward section of bank on Fish Lake before deciding whether to stay, move, or change depth. The moment I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, I would remember the setup I used around one promising shoreline stretch and make that the first test on my next trip to Fish Lake.
