I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

The fishing side of the page

The fish tied to this exact Hay Meadow Flowage record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

A laid-back first trip

If I wanted the first trip to Hay Meadow Flowage to actually teach me something, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
