Striped Bass
While not as renowned as some other Arkansas locations, Donaldson offers access to Lake DeGray, where you can pursue striped bass. This clear-water reservoir requires a different approach than muddy river systems. The stripers here tend to roam in deeper water, especially during the warmer months. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they move shallower to feed. A good strategy is to troll live bait, such as shad or shiners, in the main lake channel. Downriggers can be helpful for getting your bait to the desired depth. Alternatively, casting large swimbaits or crankbaits near points and humps can produce results. The Arlie Moore Recreation Area provides good boat access. Be aware that the striper population in Lake DeGray is maintained through stocking, so fish size can vary. A fish finder is essential for locating schools of baitfish, which the stripers will be following. Check local fishing reports for recent stocking information and fishing patterns.
