The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by working shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
Species already connected to this water
The current record for Spruce Lake does not have a solid species list; that may be less exciting, but it is a lot more useful than bad information, and and let the water decide whether that plan holds up.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Spruce Lake, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
