Bluegill
If you're looking for some classic bluegill action in central Arkansas, Houston offers a few quieter options. The town itself is small, but it's surrounded by smaller lakes and ponds perfect for panfishing. These aren't trophy bluegill waters, but they can provide consistent action, especially for families or anglers new to the sport. Spring is prime time, as the bluegill move into the shallows to spawn. Look for bedding areas in calm coves. A simple bobber and worm setup is hard to beat. For bank access, try the public areas around Lake Winona, a short drive from Houston. Be aware that some smaller ponds may be on private property, so always seek permission before fishing.
