Spotted Bass
While Mayflower, Arkansas, is better known for its largemouth bass fishing, spotted bass are also present in the local waterways, especially in the creeks and rivers that feed into Lake Conway. Look for them in areas with more current and rocky bottoms compared to the largemouth's preferred habitat. The Arkansas River, a short drive from Mayflower, can also hold some decent spotted bass. Spring and fall are good times to target them, as they tend to be more active when the water temperatures are moderate. A good technique is to use crankbaits or Carolina-rigged lizards along creek channels and rocky points. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. Spotted bass often prefer clearer water than largemouth. Also, be aware of any fishing regulations specific to spotted bass in the Arkansas River or its tributaries. While not as numerous as largemouth, the spotted bass in this region can still provide a fun and challenging fishing experience.
