On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout for Chickaree Lake; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and cooler, deeper water for trout, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Chickaree Lake without overdoing it, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
