Striped Bass
If you're looking for a striped bass adventure in Arkansas, the stretch of the Spring River near Salem is a great place to start. While not as well-known as some larger striper fisheries, the Spring River offers a unique opportunity to target these hard-fighting fish in a beautiful, clear, and relatively uncrowded setting. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers become more active with the cooler water temperatures and increased flows. Focus your efforts around areas with current breaks, such as submerged timber, rocky points, and the tailwaters below the dam. Local tip: Wading anglers can find good access at several public access points along Highway 62. Remember to check water levels before you go, as the river can fluctuate rapidly. The stripers here aren't giants, averaging in the 5-10 pound range, but their aggressive strikes and spirited fights will keep you entertained. Live bait, like shiners or gizzard shad, is always a good bet, but don't overlook artificial lures like crankbaits and swimbaits.
