About Lake Arrowhead

Anglers know Lake Arrowhead as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of California, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lake Arrowhead is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • For Largemouth bass

    Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

  • For Lake char

    Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.
