Millwood Lake Fishing Guide, Little River County, Arkansas

• Overview

  Millwood Lake lies in Little River County, Arkansas. The water sits 266 feet up. Around 36.0 sq miles of open water: conditions change from one end to the other. The bank is deeply indented, so shelter is easy to find in any wind. By surface area it heads our Little River County listings. For supplies, Mineral Springs is 9.8 miles out. The big place round here is Shreveport, 85 miles distant. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Millwood Lake

  Recorded depth comes to 25 ft. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Public wildlife records from this area list gizzard shad, redear sunfish, threadfin shad, white crappie and brown bullhead. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. Millwood Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 81°F and January about 42°F. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On Millwood Lake that shapes the whole year. A steady wind fishes better than a still, bright day.

• Tackle & Baits

  This sits on public land, so access is generally straightforward. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Scotty Lake, 6.6 miles away. The position on Millwood Lake is worth confirming on the day.
