Lake Weddington Fishing Guide, Washington County, Arkansas

• Overview

  Lake Weddington is one of the Washington County waters in Arkansas. The surface lies 1,145 feet up. Roughly 86 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The whole outline is near 2.0 miles, and most of it is walkable. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Arkansas listings. Start from Farmington, 7.6 miles down the road. Broken Arrow sits 80 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Weddington

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Fish documented in Washington County include smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and bluegill. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Work Lake Weddington in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 35°F in January to roughly 78°F in July. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. It holds true on Lake Weddington more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A slipway half a mile out gives trailer access. A marina sits within 130 yards of the water. A parking area is marked roughly half a mile out. A jetty or pier is mapped about half a mile from here. A picnic site half a mile off makes this workable with family in tow. There are toilets half a mile off. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Kinion Lake is 2.7 miles distant.
