You will find Rooney Lake in Marinette County, where it is classified as a lake with a published profile of about 18 acres and a maximum depth of 22 feet, and that is the kind of basic information I actually want before fishing somewhere new.

I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
What is actually listed here
The species information for Rooney Lake is still incomplete in the current inventory; before i planned around a specific fish, i would check the latest exact-water dnr information, and without assuming the bite will be easy just because the fish are listed.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Rooney Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
