You will find Stoltenburg Lake in Portage County, where it is classified as a lake and the useful numbers here are about 17 acres and a maximum depth of 29 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

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.
