Fish in the current inventory
For Spring Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Spring 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 check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
