Arrowhead Lake in Mono County is a lake in California and covers about 7.5 acres.
The small size of Arrowhead Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Arrowhead Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Arrowhead Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; try natural colors in clear water.
Season by Season
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; slow the bait when a good edge appears.
A Simple Tackle Plan
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; use the old channel as a guide; give low-light water a slower bottom 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; use a moving lure to search.
