The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would make sure I actually fish 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.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Middle Sugarbush Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; and that is enough to put some time into 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.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Middle Sugarbush Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
