On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by checking what is happening around 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 you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Perch Lake; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Perch Lake without overdoing it, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
