The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

Species already connected to this water

The current record for Crane Foot Lake does not have a solid species list; so if a certain species is the whole reason for the trip, i would verify it with a current exact-water source first, and while still keeping the first trip pretty relaxed.

The first trip does not need to be fancy

If I only had one day to learn Crane Foot Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
