Spotted Bass
If you're looking to target Spotted Bass in Northwest Arkansas, Rogers is a great place to start. Beaver Lake is the go-to destination, and it's known for holding a healthy population of these hard-fighting fish. Unlike largemouth, spotted bass tend to favor deeper, clearer water with rocky structure. Focus your efforts around main lake points, submerged bluffs, and rocky ledges. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish move shallower to spawn and feed. A local secret is to use smaller crankbaits and jigs that mimic crawfish, a primary food source for spotted bass in Beaver Lake. Also, pay attention to water clarity; spotted bass are more active in clear water than largemouth. Access to Beaver Lake is readily available with multiple boat ramps around Rogers, but be prepared for boat traffic, especially on weekends. Consider hiring a local guide for Beaver Lake; they can quickly put you on productive spots and teach you the best techniques.
