I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by working shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
At McLaren Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.
If I were starting from scratch on McLaren Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
