Fishing at Brewer Lake, Conway County, Arkansas

• Overview

  In Arkansas, Brewer Lake falls inside Conway County. It sits in open plain. This is sizeable water at about 1,131 acres, and a boat opens up most of it.

Greenbrier is 12 miles and Conway 14 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Brewer Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish documented in Conway County include bluegill, green sunfish and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Brewer Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 81°F; by January the average is down near 38°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That is the shape of the year on Brewer Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Launching is possible: a slipway lies half a mile off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try East Fork Point Remove Site Nine Reservoir, 6.2 miles away. Nothing on Brewer Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
