Down in Vilas County, Street Lake is a lake with the latest inventory showing about 46 acres and a maximum depth of 22 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable 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.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Street Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Street Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
