05/10/08 Arbutus Lake cloudy/rain 55 degrees. Winds 5-10 NNW. Water temp. 60 degrees. I had the chance to take a quick trip with my father up to Arbutus Lake near Black River Falls, Wi. There has been maintenance work on the dam, so navigation was a little hairy due to the lake being down 10-12 feet. We had a great time catching crappies in 2-4 feet of water in the 8-10" range, walleyes in 10-17 feet of water ranging from 12-18" and my father caught a sucker around 17". The presenation for the crappies was using a twister tail casting out with a slow retrieve or drifting. The walleyes were caught either drifting lindy rigs or casting jigs tipped with crawlers or fatheads dragged along the bottom.
