My first day here would stay uncomplicated with most of my time going to one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
What the fish list tells you
The exact-water list for Lower Ninemile Lake includes Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, and Walleye; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.
Where I would start
If I had never seen Lower Ninemile Lake before, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
