Middle McKenzie Lake belongs to Burnett County and is listed as a lake and the current record puts it at about 527 acres and a maximum depth of 45 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits with a short rotation through one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Middle McKenzie Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Middle McKenzie Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
