On the map, 0.985 Reservoir shows up as a reservoir in Columbia County and the physical record currently shows no dependable acreage or maximum-depth figure in the current record, which is enough to know whether you are dealing with a quick little water or a full-day lake.

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would make the opening plan about a few easy-to-read spots that give me different depths or kinds of cover before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
Fish recorded in this water
The current 0.985 Reservoir record does not give us a fish list I would treat as complete; so if a certain species is the whole reason for the trip, i would verify it with a current exact-water source first, and without making the day more complicated than it needs to be.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to 0.985 Reservoir, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
