The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would start where I can clearly see or understand 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 already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Lake of the Hills include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Lake of the Hills, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
