Lake Ouachita's bounty lies in more than her beauty and recreational opportunities. Beneath, in her clear, clean waters lie a wealth and variety of sporting fish. Stocked each year with young schools, Ouachita abounds in large mouth bass, bream, catfish, cool water walleye and even rainbow trout (mainly at the dam and spillway). And there's always a good chance of pulling in one of our lake's huge trophy stripers.
Our professional guide service offers not only the best in equipment and experience, they're also wonderful sources of the folklore and traditions of Lake Ouachita. Championship tournament winners, they understand the ways of the bass and the brim, the lure of the great stripers and they know all the best "hidey holes."

Largemouth bass are good and these fish can be caught with jerk baits fished over points or humps in 10 to 20 feet of water. Lipless crank baits are still working well fished near drop-offs, ledges and moss. Walleye are good and being caught on jerk baits or fluorescent jigs tipped with minnows. These fish are moving upstream for spawning. Stripers are very good on live bait with jerk baits and crank baits. Try a Rapala jerk bait, black back-silver side on secondary points in large bays and creek channels. Large shad colored swim baits are working as well. Bream are fair on worms or crickets in water 20 to 25 feet deep. Crappie are still good and being caught near brush. Try brush in water 12 to 20 feet deep. Minnows or crappie grubs are still working best. Tennessee shad and white are the best colors for artificial baits. Catfish are fair and being caught on cut bait and live bait on jug lines and trot lines.

Lake Greeson 6/22 The lake is stable and warm, 89-degree surface temperature. Crappie are still good to excellent in the northern reaches of the lake on live bait. I scouted by trolling for bass and striper and found scattered fish in the northern half of the lake but practically no fish or bait fish south of Chimney Rock. I wished it could be due to time of day but I don't think so. The recent flood waters has created a different habitat. This is unusual for this time of year, however should adjust soon.
