I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
The species currently tied to Colton Flowage include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and let current conditions settle the details.
For somebody fishing Colton Flowage for the first time, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
