This lake is amazing. I caught my Pb hybrid striper(A 6 pounder) at lake Arthur. I’ve only fished it once, and I plan on going back soon. It took me a while to catch that striper (3 hour wait) but to be fair I did a lot of trial and error. If you are shore fishing, I would bring a rod that can cast far and for bait use bottom rigged night-crawlers (they seem to work pretty good). Hybrid stripers school up, so if you catch 1 there are lots more in that area.
The lake itself is a great place to fish, in the summers it’s great for largemouth, smallmouth, carp, and catfish. In the spring it’s a great place for trout. It’s a perfect lake to fish under a bobber, and various spinners and rooster tails will also do great. Overall, I think it’s a great place to fish.
