I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
The current fish list for Stanley Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
Before I made the drive to Stanley Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
