I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits by spending the early part of the day on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Buth Lake include Largemouth Bass; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass, and keep the rest of the day loose.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Buth Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
