Bluegill
Garfield, Arkansas, offers some relaxing bluegill fishing, particularly in the coves and backwaters of Beaver Lake. Beaver Lake's structure, with its standing timber and rocky shorelines, provides ideal habitat for bluegill. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are undoubtedly the best times to target them. Look for bedding areas in shallow, protected coves. A simple setup with a small hook, a bobber, and crickets or worms is all you need. A local tip is to use a small ice fishing jig tipped with a waxworm under a bobber; this can be deadly. Public access to Beaver Lake is plentiful, with many parks and boat ramps available. The bluegill in Beaver Lake are generally of decent size, and it's not uncommon to catch some real slabs. Remember to practice selective harvest to ensure the fishery remains healthy for years to come. Don't forget to explore the smaller ponds and creeks in the area as well; they can hold some hidden bluegill gems.
