Fish in the current inventory
For Mossback Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Mossback Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
