If you are looking at Pond Lake, you are looking at a Bayfield County lake with the available record putting it at about 7 acres and a maximum depth of 40 feet, so you can get the scale of the place before you ever make a cast.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
The fishery on paper
Recorded species at Pond Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.
My game plan
If I had a few hours to figure out Pond Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
