The Arrowwood Refuge lakes are shallow and generally provide only fair fishing for northern pike, bullhead and other fish. Occasional floods permit fish to move upstream into the Refuge from Jamestown Reservoir. When this happens, good fishing conditions exist on the refuge for several years after the flooding.

Fishing on the refuge opens with the State season in May and closes in late September. Check the Refuge signs for opening and closing dates.

Ice fishing is permitted on all Refuge waters after the firearms deer season and as soon as ice conditions are safe. Ice shanties may be put up on the lakes.
