The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.
Fish recorded for Forest Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.
If I only had one day to learn Forest Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
