On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and the first places I would give a fair shot are shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.

Fish you may run into

The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Tamarack Lake; which makes it reasonable to try 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 Tamarack Lake without overdoing it, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
