Green Bear Lake, Arkansas: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Arkansas, Green Bear Lake belongs to Pulaski County. The water sits 509 feet up. At 3 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Pulaski County standards. Alexander sits 7.3 miles from the bank. Salem is 8.1 miles and Shannon Hills 9 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Green Bear Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Fish documented in Pulaski County include largemouth bass, longear sunfish and green sunfish. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Treat Green Bear Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 81°F and January near 39°F on the long-run figures. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Green Bear Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown 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. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lake Florence at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Green Bear Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
