Within Orange County, Lake Chapin is identified as a lake; a practical first look would begin around one manageable starting zone, and I would stay close until I find a repeatable bite in the first setup.

There is not much exact-water species information published for Lake Chapin, so I would keep the first outing flexible with a simple freshwater kit with worms, small jigs, and one moving bait around one sheltered area near the launch until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water. For a first trip on Lake Chapin, I would use a simple presentation around one straightforward area near the launch and keep it there until I see a pattern develop in the first hour.
For Lake Chapin, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one promising piece of water, avoid constant relocation, and change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I get a useful answer from the first setup. Once I get a useful answer from the opening stretch, I would keep working one easy-to-read piece of water on Lake Chapin before deciding whether to stay, move, or change depth. The moment I get a useful clue from the first area, I would remember the setup I used around one manageable section of bank and make that the first test on my next trip to Lake Chapin.
