Spring Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Waukesha County with the available water data listing about 105 acres and a maximum depth of 22 feet, which is enough information to keep the first trip grounded and realistic.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Spring Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Spring Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
