Little Sand Lake is a named lake in Forest County and the current record puts it at about 237 acres and a maximum depth of 20 feet, so you can plan the trip around the water that is really there, not the lake you imagined.

I would keep the first trip pretty simple and I would make sure I actually fish one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Little Sand Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch on record; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Little Sand Lake together, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
