Up in Forest County, Mainline Lake is a lake with the current inventory showing about 11 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, so there is no need to dress the lake up with a bunch of made-up detail.

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
What anglers can target
I do not have a dependable fish list for Mainline Lake yet; i would keep the species plan open until a current exact-water source gives us something solid, and and let the water decide whether that plan holds up.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Mainline Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
