Frequently Asked Questions about Fishing Charters in Arkansas

Fishing in Arkansas

Nicknamed “The Natural State,” it’s no surprise that Arkansas provides plenty in the way of fishing opportunities. From the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests to the Mississippi River, rich waterways are abundant. Come fishing in Arkansas and discover beauty and excitement, as you get back to nature. 

What fish can I catch and where?

Trout

Fishing in Arkansas is synonymous with Trout fishing. From the vast rivers and lakes to the man-made reservoirs; Brown, Rainbow, Cutthroat, and Brook Trout all make for an exciting fishing trip at some point during the year. 
 
Hit the White River’s 100 miles of Trout-fishing waters, and you’ll get your fill of these exciting and delicious creatures. The world-record Trout was caught in Little Red River in May 1992, so you have plenty of options in summer too. 
 
Whether you’re using spinning gear or catching them on the fly, these beauties promise a lot of fun. Take your own rod and reel or hop aboard a charter and see for yourself.
 

Bass

You can also help yourself to a healthy dose of Bass fishing in Arkansas throughout the year. With Largemouth, Smallmouth, Striped, and Hybrid Striped Bass on offer, you always have the chance of catching something exciting and delicious.
 
The lakes in the east and west of the state offer up plenty of action in the cold months, with Hybrid Striped and Largemouth Bass looking for your bait as a winter treat. When summer hits, the fish go mad. Target all kinds of Bass from the timberlands to the Arkansas Delta, and test a range of fishing skills to fill the freezer.
 

Walleye

In the shoulder seasons, Walleye reigns supreme. Come fishing in March or in fall, with the west of the state offering the most productive fishing grounds. These tough-fighting creatures are sure to keep you entertained throughout your trip, as you work hard for great rewards.
 

Crappie and Catfish

Often overlooked for some of the stronger fish in the state, Crappie and Catfish offer a culinary delight when fishing in Arkansas. Crappie inhabit lakes, while Catfish dwell on the riverbeds, offering more than just a potential for bycatch. Target Crappie year-round, and Catfish in summer for the best results. 
 

How to Prepare

Before fishing in Arkansas, you’ll need to get yourself an AR fishing license and, in some waters, a Trout permit. You can get these online, at any dealer such as Walmart, or directly from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. 
 
Other than that, you’ll need to make sure that you have everything to keep you comfortable throughout what promises to be a thrilling day out. With fishing year-round, you’ll want to keep an eye on the weather to make sure you take appropriate clothing in both winter and summer, and don’t forget to stock up on drinks and snacks!
 
With hundreds of miles of Trout-fishing lakes, and hundreds more freshwater lakes, why not make Arkansas your next stop for a fishing excursion? Come and discover serenity in the aptly-named “Natural State.”
