I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by checking what is happening around one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
Right now, the inventory connects Big Falls Flowage with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Lake Sturgeon, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, and Pumpkinseed, plus 3 more; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
Going into a first day on Big Falls Flowage, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
