I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
What the current record shows
There is not a reliable fish list attached to Highland Lake right now; i would not let a statewide species list stand in for actual evidence from this water, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Highland Lake for the first time, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
