Spotted Bass

Spotted Bass

freshwater

The rugged terrain around Mountain View, Arkansas, creates ideal habitat for spotted bass. The White River, particularly above Greers Ferry Lake, is a prime location to target these aggressive fish. Spotted bass thrive in the clear, rocky streams and rivers of the Ozarks. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for them, as they are more active during these periods. Focus your efforts around rocky points, bluffs, and areas with current. A local tip: Downsizing your presentation can be key to success, especially in clear water. Smaller crankbaits, jigs, and soft plastics on finesse rigs can be highly effective. For access, consider launching a kayak or canoe at one of the many access points along the White River. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the health of this exceptional spotted bass fishery. These fish are known for their feisty attitudes, so be ready for a good fight!
