This Oneida County water is Dam Lake, a reservoir and the water facts we have show about 732 acres and a maximum depth of 32 feet, and that is plenty of context for deciding how much of the water you can realistically cover.

I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it and I would build the day around one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.
What you can fish for
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Dam Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
