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 still fair to good on Texas rigged worms, football jigs and creature baits. Night fishing with black spinner baits and big plastics is still good.
Walleye are still good and being caught on spoons.
Stripers are still fair with live bait and down rigging hair jigs.
Bream are still good on worms or crickets in water 15 to 25 feet deep.
Crappie are fair and being caught near brush. Try brush in water 20 to 30 feet deep. Minnows or crappie grubs are still working best. Tennessee shad is the best color for artificial baits.
Catfish are good 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.
