For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with a short rotation through shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Tripp Lake 12.0; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Tripp Lake 12.0 tomorrow, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
