Largemouth Bass

Greers Ferry Lake near Heber Springs is renowned for its clear water and scenic beauty, and it holds a healthy population of largemouth bass. The lake's diverse structure, including rocky bluffs, submerged timber, and grass beds, provides ample habitat for bass of all sizes. Spring and fall are the best times to target largemouth, as they move shallow to spawn and feed aggressively before winter. Focus on the backs of coves and creeks during the spawn, and target points and drop-offs during the fall. A local tip: clear water calls for finesse tactics. Try using smaller crankbaits, jerkbaits, and soft plastics on lighter line. Also, the lake can stratify in the summer, so pay attention to the thermocline and fish accordingly. Greers Ferry largemouth aren't always easy, but the rewards are worth the effort.
