Largemouth Bass

If you're after largemouth bass near Altheimer, Arkansas, you're in classic bass country. The Arkansas River and its backwaters, along with numerous oxbow lakes and sloughs in the region, offer excellent habitat. The spring spawning season (March-May) is prime time, with bass moving into shallow areas to nest. Fall (September-November) is another great period as they feed heavily before winter. Local anglers often have success using spinnerbaits and crankbaits around submerged timber and vegetation. For bank access, try areas along the Arkansas River levee. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. After heavy rains, the river can get muddy, so targeting clearer backwaters and oxbows can be more productive. Largemouth in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fights, making for a memorable fishing experience.
