On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch for Arbutus Lake; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Arbutus Lake without overdoing it, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
