If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic and I would build the day around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Hay Meadow Flowage includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Hay Meadow Flowage, 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.
