Fish in the current inventory
For Muskellunge Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Muskellunge Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
