Fish in the current inventory
For Sugarbush Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Sugarbush Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
