Fishing at Coca Cola Lake, Miller County, Arkansas

• Overview

  Within Miller County, Arkansas, you have Coca Cola Lake. The bank is 325 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 39 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Roughly 1.0 miles of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Nearest place of any size is Texarkana, 6.8 miles away. The big place round here is Shreveport, 62 miles distant. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Coca Cola Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover green sunfish, bowfin, largemouth bass and longear sunfish. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Read Coca Cola Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 42°F in January to roughly 82°F in July. The surface stays open the year round. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Coca Cola Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Old Bitty Lake is 0.9 miles distant. Check the current arrangement for Coca Cola Lake.
