I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
The fishing side of the page
The fish tied to this exact Trout Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
A laid-back first trip
If I wanted the first trip to Trout Lake to actually teach me something, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
