The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan with a simple look at one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
The fishery on paper
Recorded species at Crowley Flowage 802 include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Sturgeon, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout, and Walleye; so the first trip would at least account for points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.
My game plan
If I had a few hours to figure out Crowley Flowage 802, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
