Largemouth Bass

If you're heading to Adona, Arkansas, for some largemouth bass action, you're in for a treat. This area, nestled in the Ouachita Mountains, boasts numerous smaller lakes and rivers perfect for chasing these popular gamefish. Lake Overcup, a short drive from Adona, is a local favorite. Spring is the classic time to target largemouth as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for bedding areas in protected coves. Fall is also excellent, as the fish feed heavily before winter. For a more secluded experience, explore the South Fourche LaFave River. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate quickly, especially after heavy rains, so check conditions before heading out. A local tip: many anglers have success with spinnerbaits and crankbaits worked along submerged structure in Lake Overcup. The largemouth in this region tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves.
