Fish species in Stoltenburg Lake

I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by putting the first hour into the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before making the day harder than it needs to be.

What is actually listed here

At Stoltenburg Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.

My first-day plan

If I were starting from scratch on Stoltenburg Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
