Bluegill
Looking for some fun panfishing near Lake Village, Arkansas? Lake Chicot is the place to be for bluegill. These feisty fish are abundant throughout the lake, offering consistent action for anglers of all skill levels. Spring and early summer are prime times, as bluegill move into the shallows to spawn. Crickets, worms, and small jigs are all effective baits, fished under a bobber or tight-lined around structure. Look for them near lily pads, submerged brush, and docks. The warmer months can also be productive, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. A local tip: try using a small popping bug or dry fly for some exciting topwater action. Lake Chicot State Park provides easy access to the lake with boat ramps and fishing piers. The bluegill here are known for their vibrant colors and willingness to bite, making for a memorable fishing experience.
