Stratton Lake is a lake on the Waupaca County map and the basic lake data comes in at about 63 acres and a maximum depth of 42 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects Stratton Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Pumpkinseed, plus 2 more; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on Stratton Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
