For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
The present inventory shows Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout at Mud Lake; which makes it reasonable to try cooler, deeper water for trout, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
If I were headed to Mud Lake tomorrow, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
