Boat and bank anglers are still catching an occasional trout in Butterfield Lake. Trolling a spinner from small boat or fishing from the bank with PowerBait or casting a spinner or spoon are good ways to catch trout. 

Largemouth bass fishing will be best in early morning and evening. Bass tend to move into deeper water quickly once the sun hits the lake. Bluegills and warmouth will be active and can be caught around submerged wood or along the vegetation lines.
