For anglers around Waukesha County, Lac La Belle is a local lake and the physical record currently shows about 1,154 acres and a maximum depth of 45 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well and I would make the opening plan about one manageable section of the lake instead of trying to cover the whole thing before making the day harder than it needs to be.
The fishing side of the page
The fish tied to this exact Lac La Belle record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
A laid-back first trip
If I wanted the first trip to Lac La Belle to actually teach me something, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
