My first day here would stay uncomplicated by giving the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach more than a couple of throwaway casts and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
What the fish list tells you
Right now, Hope Lake does not have a dependable exact-water fish list in the inventory; if better exact-water fish records show up, this is the section that should get updated first, and and use the first few bites to narrow things down.
Where I would start
If I had never seen Hope Lake before, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
