This lake is hard to beat for blues. I spent a good majority of my time fishing on Lewisville and Lavon, and the average/quality and size of blue you catch per fish on Arrowhead is much better in my opinion (really healthy population) . Much less fishing pressure on Arrowhead than on these DFW lakes as well. I might try to meet up with my brother and fish this one.

It's a great lake for sure! My son actually holds the junior lake record out there as well. Would love to have y'all come out and give us a try. My wife and I really strive to provide a fun and enjoyable tournament for everyone.
