Barham Lake Number 1 Fishing Guide, Nevada County, Arkansas

• Overview

  Within Nevada County, Arkansas, you have Barham Lake Number 1. This is dry hill country. This is a pocket water of some 21 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. For a base, Prescott sits 15 miles out. Shreveport sits 82 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Barham Lake Number 1

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Anyone new to this water should walk it once before setting up. Note where you had the first touch and work back over it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 42°F to 81°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. At this water the season follows that pattern closely. Warm rain lifts activity; cold rain flattens it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Barham Lake Number Two, 0.3 miles away. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
