The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by putting the first hour into the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.

Species already connected to this water

The current record for Chain Lake does not have a solid species list; i would rather leave that blank than send somebody out after a fish that may not be there, and and leave the rest of the plan flexible.

The first trip does not need to be fancy

If I only had one day to learn Chain Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
