The fishery at Arrowhead Lake provides good fishing. The last fisheries survey from 2021 showed high numbers of largemouth bass with very few above the 15-inch minimum length limit. Bluegills up to 9-inches. Black crappies (8.5-inch) are in the lake. Yellow bass (10-inches) add to the fishery. Channel catfish stocked into Arrowhead Lake during odd numbered years round out the fishery. (2022)
