I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Headflyer Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Headflyer Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
