• Where to Fish on Buhella Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Itasca County include yellow perch, largemouth bass, northern pike and bluegill. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Work Buhella Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 67°F and January near 5°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The season between ice runs from about mid April to late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Buhella Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Wabana Lake is 0.6 miles distant. Confirm before you fish Buhella Lake.
