I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by giving one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break more than a couple of throwaway casts before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
The water-specific species list for Big Roche a Cri Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and that is enough to put some time into 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.
For the opening trip to Big Roche a Cri Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
