About 2013 Butler Chain of Lakes Pictures

The Butler Chains of lakes (4,927 acres) are very similar in that they are relatively deep for Florida lakes (20 – 40 foot holes), abundant submerged vegetation, and good largemouth bass fisheries. This 4,720-acre chain is made up of 11 interconnected lakes.

Boat access is available only at one county ramp (Lake Isleworth just south of Windermere), and public bank access is almost non-existent. Orange County charges a launch fee at the Lake Isleworth ramp, which is not open after dark.

The R.D. Keene ramp at Lake Isleworth (Butler Chain) costs per day or a year for the use of the ramp.
Windermere Chain of lakes is known for its excellent Orlando largemouth bass fishing. Most successful bass anglers pay attention to the bottom contours of the lake offshore structure where 4- to 5-pound bass are commonly produced.

Live shiners free-lined over grass edges, humps, ledges, and drop‑offs adjacent to spawning flats is one method to consistently catch quality bass in the winter/spring (Try Lake Butler). Jigging spoons fished over deep-water humps can produce 50-fish days when the water gets cold, and fish congregate tightly (Try Little Lake Down).

Windermere chain also has relatively unknown and unstudied black crappie (speck), bluegill, and redear sunfish (shellcracker) populations. Still, anecdotal angler reports and field observations indicate a fishery exists for all three species.
