I would keep the first trip pretty simple by putting the first hour into the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach 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 Steele Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Little Steele Lake together, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
