The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would build the day around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for McClaine Lake include 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 keep the rest of the day loose.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn McClaine 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 still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
