Largemouth Bass
Stephens, Arkansas, might be a small town, but it's surrounded by some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities. The Ouachita River and its backwaters offer diverse habitat, from flooded timber to lily pads and grassy shorelines. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with pre-spawn and post-spawn bass being particularly active. During the warmer months, focus on early mornings and late evenings, or fish deeper structure during the day. A great local tip is to explore the smaller oxbow lakes off the main river channel; these often hold overlooked bass. The boat ramp at White Oak Lake is a popular access point. Largemouth in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, and you might even hook into a trophy-sized fish. Remember to check creel limits and regulations before heading out.
