I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.

The fishing side of the page

The fish tied to this exact Fawn Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.

A laid-back first trip

If I wanted the first trip to Fawn Lake to actually teach me something, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
