Bullhead Catfish
For bullhead catfish enthusiasts in central Arkansas, Little Rock offers several accessible and productive fishing spots. The Arkansas River, which flows right through the city, is a good starting point, but don't dismiss the smaller lakes and ponds within a short drive. Lake Maumelle and Lake Winona, to the west of the city, are known to hold some hefty bullheads. Late spring and early summer, after the spawn, are excellent times to target them. Simple techniques like fishing with worms or cut bait near the bottom are highly effective. The Arkansas River Trail provides easy bank access in several locations. Be aware of the barge traffic on the Arkansas River and exercise caution when fishing from a boat. Also, check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations for any specific rules or restrictions.
