Anglers looking at DeKalb County will find Lake Arrowhead, a reservoir; I would give one straightforward shoreline stretch a fair chance and resist moving until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one promising shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water.
Lake Arrowhead Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Lake Arrowhead, so I would leave those numbers open until an official lake survey confirms the number and fish one easy-to-read shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the first hour.
Fishing This Water
A reliable fish list for Lake Arrowhead is difficult to confirm, so I would carry a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures, fish one nearby section of water, and leave the target open until I get a useful answer from the first setup. I would keep the tackle narrow on Lake Arrowhead, fish one short section of water, and avoid changing everything until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment.
A Practical Lake Arrowhead Game Plan
My first plan for Lake Arrowhead would be to fish one sheltered part of the lake deliberately and make only the changes the first few bites justify only after I get a useful clue from the first few casts. When I get a useful clue from the nearby water, I would stay around one straightforward part of the lake on Lake Arrowhead and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful clue from the first hour, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Lake Arrowhead with one promising starting zone already on the short list.
