I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and the first places I would give a fair shot are one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
The species record attached to Riley Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
For a first trip to Riley Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
