If you are looking at Mallard Hole Lake, you are looking at a Fond du Lac County lake and its basic numbers come out to about 2 acres and a maximum depth of 6 feet, so there is no need to dress the lake up with a bunch of made-up detail.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan with my first few stops centered on 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.
The fishery on paper
Recorded species at Mallard Hole Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
My game plan
If I had a few hours to figure out Mallard Hole Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
