The 4-acre Arrowhead Lake in Fresno County is a lake in California and covers about 4 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; separate open water from cover.
Fish listed for Arrowhead Lake include Brook Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Arrowhead Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; keep a worm ready for a slower check.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; change depth before changing the whole spot, then let two bites set the useful depth.
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; fish the windy and calm sides differently.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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; change retrieve speed before changing lures.
