Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass tend to steal the spotlight in Arkansas, don't overlook the Spotted Bass fishing around Dyess. These hard-fighting bass thrive in the rivers and creeks of northeast Arkansas. The St. Francis River, with its rocky structure and clear water, is a great place to target them. Spring and fall are prime times, as the spotted bass move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are effective lures. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as rocks, logs, and creek mouths. Public access to the St. Francis can be found at several bridge crossings and designated access points. Be aware that the water clarity can vary depending on rainfall, so adjust your lure selection accordingly. Spotted Bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, making for some exciting angling.
