If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Jenny Barnes Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Jenny Barnes Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
