Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Bass
London, Arkansas, offers some surprisingly good spotted bass fishing, especially if you know where to look. The Illinois Bayou, winding its way through the Ozark foothills, is your primary target. What makes this location unique is the combination of clear, rocky streams and deeper, slower pools that hold good numbers of spots. Spring and fall are prime times, as the spotted bass become more active with the cooler water temperatures. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, rocky points, and creek confluences. A local tip: Pay attention to water levels after rainfall; the bite can turn on quickly as the water rises and brings in fresh forage. For bank access, try the areas around the Highway 164 bridge. Spotted bass in this area are generally healthy and aggressive, often hitting crankbaits and spinnerbaits with gusto.
