Carp
Carp fishing in the Big Flat, Arkansas area provides a unique angling experience far from the crowds. The Buffalo National River and Sylamore Creek, along with smaller, less-known waterways, can hold surprisingly large carp. These fish thrive in the slower-moving sections and backwaters of these systems. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are ideal. Pre-baiting is highly recommended; a mix of corn, bread, and boilies can attract carp from a considerable distance. A local tip: explore the areas where smaller creeks flow into the larger rivers; these confluence points often concentrate food and attract carp. Also, be mindful of the regulations within the Buffalo National River; some areas may have restrictions on bait or fishing methods. The carp in this area can be incredibly strong, so be sure to use appropriate tackle.
