Guerrero Lake Number One in Benton County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Benton County, Arkansas, is where Guerrero Lake Number One sits. The surface lies 1,230 feet up. The water measures roughly 3 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Most waters listed here for Benton County are larger. Head to Gentry, 2.2 miles away, for anything you forgot. For a city, Broken Arrow is 74 miles off. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Guerrero Lake Number One

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Across Benton County, recorded fish include largemouth bass, orangethroat darter, bluegill, smallmouth bass and green sunfish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Guerrero Lake Number One the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 34°F in January and 78°F in July. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Guerrero Lake Number One.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Gurrero Lake Number Two is 0.4 miles off. Ask locally about Guerrero Lake Number One if anything is unclear.
