On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would make the opening plan about the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Swift Lake; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Swift Lake without overdoing it, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
