I think there may be some misinformation here. I have fished on riley many times there are very few if any walleye there, the panfishing is ok and the are overpressured.

Great Lake. Sometimes heavily pressured. Put in on Wabikon, drive through Wabikon and pull or paddle your boat 1/4 mile through channel into Riley. Several informal campsites on this lake, no development. Lots of small northern pike, some good bass, good walleye. Everyone says good muskie, haven't fished them myself. Beautiful body of water.

I was very pleased with this lake. Not a cabin or dwelling on it and the musky fishing is sweet. Caught a nice 44 inch tiger my first time out.
