I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

Fish recorded in this water

The current Patterson Lake record does not give us a fish list I would treat as complete; for a first visit, i would keep the tackle flexible and avoid building the whole day around one species, and and keep everything else in reserve until i need it.

An easy starting plan

For a first trip to Patterson Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
