Title: Arrowhead cold water species
Post by: Fishin_Addiction on Mar 06, 2022, 08:32 PM

In all the years I have fished Arrowhead I have never caught anything other then , Yp, sunfish, bass, crappie, pickerel. I have heard stories of people catching salmon and brookies. Can anyone on here confirm this firsthand? I thaught there was a screen in between little O , so how does this happen?

I've heard this too but have never seen it myself,as for how they would get in there I would think on heavy rainfall years or when the water is higher than normal I would try to target Coldwater species on those years  with abnormal water levels on arrowhead but that's just my two cents

Oh by the way, that was during the Blizzard. Vertical snow for about 4 hrs.

The state stocks Little Ossipee river in Limerick, that feeds into Arrowhead.

Well that is good confirmation that sometimes a Brookie gets caught out of there. Is the water quality good enough for them to survive long term?
