The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for North Townline Flowage include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn North Townline Flowage, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
