Up in Richland County, .38 Reservoir is a reservoir and the best current size-and-depth record is no dependable acreage or maximum-depth figure in the current record, so you can get the scale of the place before you ever make a cast.

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops by giving a few easy-to-read spots that give me different depths or kinds of cover more than a couple of throwaway casts before I started running around looking for something better.
What anglers can target
I do not have a dependable fish list for .38 Reservoir yet; the lack of a fish list is a data gap, not an invitation to fill it with assumptions, and rather than hauling gear for every fish in the state.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to .38 Reservoir, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
