I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it with the first real effort focused on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before making the day harder than it needs to be.
What you can fish for
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Kohlsville Millpond, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
