The walleye, musky and bass population appear to be exploding here.

Lake Wilhelm hides plenty of fish
Biologists will tell you that it's home to predatory fish. Big ones, and in numbers dense enough to make it a real hot spot, too. (2011-06-07)

Predatory fish populations growing at Lake Arthur
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a lot of people thought the next state record largemouth was going to come from Lake Arthur. These days, the word on Arthur is that it's a place where the kinds of fish that eat other fish, in all varieties, are thriving.  (2011-06-12)

Guess the secrets out...let the parade begin.
FWIW, at least 1 30" 'eye came outta there this spring.

On a side note, been catching quite a few of these at Wilhelm the past week...


I think they're green sunfish...don't look exactly like the one on the PFBC page,
but I think they're just colored up for the spawn?
Has the mouth of a bass. This one was only ablut 4-5" long, and I could thumb him with no problem.
They have the black spot on the dorsal & anal fins as described for greens. Can see them better here...


...any experts care to weigh in?

They look like greenies to me. I catch them all the time at Glendale while crappie fishing. Never caught one through the ice though.

Not an expert by any means but I found that the green sunfish "readily hybrydize" with other sunfish.  To me it looks like a cross betwen the green sunfish and any one of the other sunfish types.

I fished Wilhelm yesterday, it was slow, fish commision was out and the wind sucked. We boated 12 largemouths, one was small. A couple of nice 4-5 pounders. We fished west of 79 in the gamelands stumps.

Are the Muskies only in the main lake or are they in the gamelands portion of the lake as well?
