You will find Buffalo Lake in Bayfield County, where it is classified as a lake and the basic lake data comes in at about 185 acres and a maximum depth of 29 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.
What is actually listed here
At Buffalo Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Buffalo Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
