I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it by putting the first hour into shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.

What you can fish for

For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.

Keeping the first trip simple

If a buddy asked me how to start on Rock Dam Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
