I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it by putting the first hour into shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

What you can fish for

For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

Keeping the first trip simple

If a buddy asked me how to start on Upper Devils Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
