Hunter 5 Report post Posted February 17, 2017 The road with the gate goes to a gravel pit the road you saw at the culvert goes to camps. Where you saw the people on the beach is no overnight camping and is Moose beach and is known as moose bay.That beach is part of the park. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allymeagan 16 Report post Posted February 17, 2017 I've never ice fished at Arrow, and was thinking of trying it on Monday...if it's not raining lol. I'll be walking in, and I'm assuming if I follow the skidoo trails I'll know approximately where to fish by where the other holes are? Anyone been out lately to say how the trail is? Might be a mess with the warm temps we're looking at. Fishing lakers is a whole new ballgame for me, but I'm looking forward to trying it! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 21, 2017 Has anyone been on Arrow lake by the Narrows in the last few days with the warmer weather? I was wondering how sloppy it is and ice conditions. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scojik 5 Report post Posted February 21, 2017 Was out on Sunday fished off the point near moose beach. Ice was good it was random snow covered and wind swept. We walked out and there was one "puddle" near us but nothing was concerning. Fishing was slow . I can imagine its a bit messy after the rain though 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adam_k 19 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Be careful out there on the ice! thought I was posting this in another topic but can't figure how to move it so it will stay in this topic! cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsambray 172 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 Heading out on Saturday morning. Figure I might as well get as much time in as possible since there may be an early thaw. Anyone been out this week that can say on what the slush and water situation is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 I am heading out today I will post later tonight on the ice conditions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 I was out yesterday around moose bay/narrows and there is a good mix of half frozen slush. I made it around out there in my side by side with no issues. There is a good 20" plus of ice out there. I'm sure this colder weather will help a bit.

Keegan4 3 Report post Posted February 25, 2017 How much lubricant is there for sled sliders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 25, 2017 Not too much. Most of the snow and slush is frozen. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 25, 2017 There are sleds out here though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsambray 172 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Caught one on Saturday. Not a good day either. Almost hit a moose at the top of sandstone hill then the road into arrow was a fricken skating rink at the narrow cliff spot. Busted up my bumper thanks to slamming into the snow bank. And then on the way out having to do multiple runs at the hill. Oh yeah my one laker I didn't even get to take home thanks to an eagle. The signs were saying go home watch tv and drink beer. So I listened. One weekend off and then two days of nolalu fish derby for this guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I went out Friday afternoon and seen one fish follow me on the marcum but he wouldn't commit I also went out Sunday morning I didn't mark one fish all day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I had no luck saturday either. Had 5 show up on the graph and only one gave chase, turned and left. Thursday I had one on in shallow water but lost it at the hole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Honestly I have no clue if I'm fishing in the right spot or not I've only been out to the lake 2 times in my life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I'm learning the water as well. I grew up out there but never fished for lakers. We always fished in the summer only and usually for bass. There really isn't any bathymetry for this lake unless you chart it yourself. Here are some old maps from 1966 I dug up from the library. They help a bit.

Scojik 5 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 When I was out last Sunday everything was solid and the wind was cold as all He77 with temps not really warming up this week I can't imagine there being any Slush. I'm not sure if there would be any snow to cool the Sleds either tho however I am not fortunate enough to own such a gadget so I"m not an expert to say other wise.

naden 136 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 I was on a few lakes in that area last weekend and all of them were almost completely bare ice, had trouble keeping the sleds cool and a few guys had their sliders stick to the tracks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
