Montgomery Lake, Arkansas: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Arkansas, Montgomery Lake falls inside Faulkner County. The bank is 640 feet above sea level. At roughly 7 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. On size it sits at the modest end of our Faulkner County list. You are 5.6 miles from Greenbrier. Conway follows at 16 miles, then Vilonia at 16 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Montgomery Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Across Faulkner County, recorded fish include largemouth bass, bluegill and longear sunfish. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Anyone new to Montgomery Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 80°F and January at 37°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Plan any trip to Montgomery Lake around it. Rain lifts the level and moves fish about.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. 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. Failing this one, try Lake Bennett, 2.4 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Montgomery Lake for certain.
