On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by working the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.

Fish you may run into

The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Fairwater Pond; and I would begin by covering weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.

How I would break it down

If I wanted to learn Fairwater Pond without overdoing it, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
