Fawn Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Vilas County and the water facts we have show about 19 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, so there is no need to dress the lake up with a bunch of made-up detail.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more and I would build the day around 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 to think about
The water-specific species list for Fawn Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Fawn Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
