I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and the first places I would give a fair shot are shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Lilly Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Lilly Lake for the first time, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
