Arrowhead Lake

Arrowhead Lake is a lake in Vilas County with the available water data listing about 96 acres and a maximum depth of 43 feet, which gives you a much better starting point than trying to read too much into a satellite view.

What this lake is like

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

What swims here

Species already recorded for Arrowhead Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on Arrowhead Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
