I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Mielke Lake includes Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout; so the first trip would at least account for cooler, deeper water for trout, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Mielke Lake, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
