I would keep the first trip pretty simple and I would make sure I actually fish shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Kathryn Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch on record; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Kathryn Lake together, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
