I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects Eau Claire River Flowage 33 with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout, plus 2 more; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on Eau Claire River Flowage 33, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
