Fish in the current inventory
For Wright Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Wright Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
