I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be by spending the early part of the day on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.
For fishing, the current record for Bug Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds and easy cover for panfish and cooler, deeper water for trout, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
If I were putting together a simple plan for Bug Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
