Spotted Bass
While not as widely known as some other Arkansas locations, the waterways near Hazen can offer opportunities for spotted bass. These fish tend to thrive in the clearer, cooler streams and rivers, so focus your efforts on any such waterways in the region or smaller tributaries feeding into larger lakes. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times to target spotted bass, as they become more active during these periods. Look for rocky areas, submerged timber, and any other structure that provides cover. A practical tip is to use smaller lures and lighter line, as spotted bass can be more finicky than largemouth bass. Consider exploring some of the smaller creeks and streams that feed into the larger White River system; these often hold overlooked populations of spotted bass. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population, as these fisheries can be sensitive to overfishing.
