White Bass
White Bass enthusiasts will find Mount Pleasant, Arkansas a worthwhile destination. The Spring River, a short drive from town, is known for its excellent white bass runs, especially during the spring spawning season. These fish migrate upstream to spawn, congregating in large numbers, offering fast-paced action. Focus your efforts around riffles, shoals, and any areas where the current is constricted. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. While the spring run is the most popular time to target white bass, they can be caught throughout the year in the deeper pools of the river. Access to the Spring River is relatively easy, with several public access points along Highway 63. Be aware that the river can be swift and rocky, so use caution when wading or navigating in a boat.
