I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Dunn Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Dunn Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
