On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

Fish you may run into

The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Little Bear Flowage; which tells me to think about weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

How I would break it down

If I wanted to learn Little Bear Flowage without overdoing it, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
