Fairfield Bay, Arkansas, situated on the shores of Greers Ferry Lake, is a fantastic destination for largemouth bass anglers. Greers Ferry is known for its clear water and rocky structure, which creates excellent habitat for bass. The spring spawning season is a popular time, with fish moving into the shallows to nest. However, the lake fishes well year-round with adjustments to your tactics. During the summer, focus on deeper structure with crankbaits, Carolina rigs, or Texas-rigged worms. Fall can see a resurgence in shallow water activity as bass feed up for the winter. A local tip: Greers Ferry is a highland reservoir, so understanding the thermocline is crucial during the warmer months. Fish below the thermocline where the water is cooler and more oxygenated. Several boat ramps around Fairfield Bay provide easy access to the lake, making it a convenient base for your fishing trip.
