Fish in the current inventory
For McCormick Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the rest of the day loose.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to McCormick Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
