Reynolds Park Lake, Arkansas: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Reynolds Park Lake is one of the Greene County listings for Arkansas. It sits in farm and woodlot. The water covers some 38 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The full circuit measures close to 1.0 miles on foot. Most waters listed here for Greene County are larger. Paragould sits 2.1 miles from the bank. Marmaduke lies 11 miles off, Brookland another 12 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Reynolds Park Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Fish documented in Greene County include bluegill, green sunfish and longear sunfish. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Reynolds Park Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 81°F and January at 36°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on Reynolds Park Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The car has to stay 0.9 miles away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Walcot Lake sits 7.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Rules at Reynolds Park Lake are worth checking on the day.
