Largemouth Bass
Madison, Arkansas, provides access to some classic Southern bass fishing. Largemouth Bass thrive in the numerous oxbow lakes and slow-moving waterways connected to the L'Anguille River. These waters offer a variety of habitat, from lily pads and cypress trees to submerged timber, all prime locations for bass to ambush prey. Spring is an excellent time to target spawning bass in the shallows, while summer offers opportunities to fish deeper structure with crankbaits and Texas-rigged worms. The fall can also be productive as bass feed heavily before winter. A local trick is to pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, use more natural-looking lures and presentations. If it's stained or muddy, switch to brighter colors and lures with more vibration. The L'Anguille River offers numerous access points along Highway 79, making it easy to explore different sections of the river.
