Up in Washburn County, Lost Lake is a lake and the water facts we have show about 47 acres and a maximum depth of 11 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops and I would build the day around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
What anglers can target
The current fish list for Lost Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Lost Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
