My first day here would stay uncomplicated and the first places I would give a fair shot are 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.
The exact-water list for Durphee Lake includes 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 make the first hour useful instead of random.
If I had never seen Durphee Lake before, 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 read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
