I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with most of my time going to shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
What anglers can target
The current fish list for Wyona Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Wyona Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
