In Oneida County, Stone Lake is a mapped lake and the physical record currently shows about 178 acres and a maximum depth of 16 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

Fish in the current inventory
For Stone Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Stone 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 check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
