The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and I would make sure I actually fish one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before making the day harder than it needs to be.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Stella Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Stella Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
