Arnold Reservoir is a reservoir in California, near San Bernardino County.
Arnold Reservoir is a reservoir in San Bernardino County, California and covers about 10.3 acres, reaches about 22.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 137 acre-feet.
Arnold Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Arnold Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.
A useful black crappie plan on Arnold Reservoir is to fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
One direct bluegill tactic on Arnold Reservoir is to use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
When largemouth bass are the target on Arnold Reservoir, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
A useful channel catfish plan on Arnold Reservoir is to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; use the same depth on the next similar feature.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; cast across the point tip, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; fish the same shape nearby.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; try natural colors in clear water; give shaded water a separate pass.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; check the downwind corner for food, then return to productive water when light changes.
