Lake Arrowhead sits in Muscogee County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one straightforward section of bank as the first section and keep fishing it until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one promising section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Lake Arrowhead Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Lake Arrowhead does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until an official lake survey confirms the number before trusting a number and stay around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the first hour.
Fishing This Water
Public fish information tied specifically to Lake Arrowhead is sparse, so I would start with one light rod with a jig, worm, and float around one manageable shoreline stretch and avoid specializing until I get a useful answer from the first setup. The first trip to Lake Arrowhead is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one short section of water, at least until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment.
A Practical Lake Arrowhead Game Plan
If I were seeing Lake Arrowhead for the first time, I would work one sheltered section of water with only a few dependable baits and make the simplest change first after I get a useful clue from the first few casts. If I get a useful clue from the nearby water, I would stay around one straightforward section of water on Lake Arrowhead and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful clue from the first hour, I would leave Lake Arrowhead knowing that one promising part of the lake deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
