Bluegill
For some classic Bluegill action, Calico Rock, Arkansas, provides access to several productive waters. The White River and its slower-moving backwaters, along with smaller ponds and lakes in the area, offer excellent Bluegill fishing. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are the best times to target these panfish. Look for them in shallow, weedy areas near the shoreline. A simple setup with a worm or cricket under a bobber is often all you need. Public access is available at several points along the White River, and many smaller lakes and ponds offer bank fishing opportunities. The Bluegill in this region are known for their good size, with some reaching impressive proportions. Be sure to check local regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions. Consider using light tackle for a more sporting experience, and don't be afraid to experiment with different depths to find where the fish are holding.
