I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Arbutus Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Arbutus Lake for the first time, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
