If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Lake Millicent includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Lake Millicent, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
