Sawyer County is home to Spring Lake, a mapped lake with a published profile of about 202 acres and a maximum depth of 18 feet, which is enough information to keep the first trip grounded and realistic.

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be by making an honest pass along one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
The species on record
For fishing, the current record for Spring Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
What I would do first
If I were putting together a simple plan for Spring Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
