North Smoky Hill Flowage is a reservoir on the Marathon County map and the water facts we have show about 16 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, so you can plan the trip around the water that is really there, not the lake you imagined.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects North Smoky Hill Flowage with Northern Pike; so I would keep the tackle centered on weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on North Smoky Hill Flowage, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
