Targeting Largemouth Bass near Clarksville, Arkansas, means understanding the Arkansas River Valley's dynamic environment. Spring and fall are prime times, as bass move shallow to spawn and then fatten up for winter. Focus on areas where the Arkansas River backs up into creeks and sloughs; these areas offer warmer water and abundant forage. During the summer months, the bass will retreat to deeper water around submerged timber and creek channels. Try working crankbaits and Texas-rigged worms along these structures. A local tip: the Spadra Creek area, accessible from Highway 64, can be productive, especially after a period of stable water levels. Remember to check the Army Corps of Engineers website for current river conditions and closures, as water levels can fluctuate rapidly.
