Largemouth Bass
The New River near Fayetteville offers a unique opportunity to target largemouth bass in a stunning setting. This isn't your typical lake fishing; the river's rocky structure, current, and deep pools create a challenging but rewarding bass fishery. Spring and fall are the best times, with the spawn in late spring bringing bass into shallower areas. Summer can be productive early and late in the day. Target areas around submerged rocks, ledges, and slower-moving backwaters. A great local tip is to use crawfish-imitating lures, as crawfish are a staple of the bass diet here. Access can be tricky, with some areas requiring wading or a kayak. Be mindful of the current and slippery rocks. The bass in the New River tend to be scrappy fighters, known for their aggressive strikes.
