Walleye

While not as widely known for walleye as some other California lakes, Lake Arrowhead does hold a population of these prized fish, offering a unique angling opportunity. The key to success here is understanding their preference for cooler, deeper water. Target walleye during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are more favorable. Trolling crankbaits or using jigging spoons near the bottom are effective techniques. Focus on areas with rocky structure or drop-offs. Since Lake Arrowhead is a private lake, access is limited to residents and their guests. A valuable tip is to fish at night, as walleye are often more active under the cover of darkness. Using lighted lures or adding a glow stick to your line can also increase your chances of success. Be sure to check the specific regulations for walleye, including size and bag limits, before you start fishing.
