Fished this lake multiple times during many winter/summer seasons with absolutely no luck. Maybe I am just not in the right places at the right times, but the lake is small and seems easy to read for points, flat, and other structure. Summer fishing is a joke as the boat traffic is ridiculous with absolutely no regard to boat safety/procedures. With that said, this lake appears dead. Even though it's a longer drive, I am sticking with my northern WI lakes that consistently produce fantastic fishing year-round and have considerate boaters. I'm done with Arbutus.

The lake is spotty for bass so you need to keep moving but the good news you can come back to a spot and catch more. The active largemouth are near current swept or windy points but they can also be found on the big flat near east arbutus campgrounds. In the spring go up Arnold's creek past the bridge. The smallmouth are mixed in the with the largemouth on the current swept or windy points. Go up the main river and feeder creeks and fish the main channel at the turns and breaks. Catfish use chicken liver in the deep holes.
