Bluegill
If you're looking for some classic bluegill action in northern Arkansas, Strawberry is a great place to start. The Spring River, which flows nearby, offers excellent opportunities for targeting these panfish, particularly in its slower-moving sections and backwaters. Look for bluegill around submerged timber, weed beds, and near the banks, especially where there's overhanging vegetation. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the fish are spawning and actively feeding. A simple setup of crickets or worms under a bobber is often all you need. Access to the Spring River is available at several points along Highway 58, but be mindful of private property. The bluegill in this area tend to be plentiful but not exceptionally large, making it a perfect spot for introducing kids to fishing or just enjoying a relaxing day on the water. Remember that the Spring River is a popular floating destination, so be prepared to share the water, particularly on weekends.
