Tall Timber Lake Fishing in Pulaski County, Arkansas

• Overview

  Arkansas holds Tall Timber Lake, in Pulaski County. Elevation runs to 325 feet. The water measures roughly 4 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Pulaski County standards. For a base, Shannon Hills sits 5.5 miles out. Alexander lies 5.8 miles off, Little Rock another 6.2 miles. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Tall Timber Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. County-wide records name largemouth bass, longear sunfish, green sunfish and bluegill. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Tall Timber Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 40°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan around that when you fish Tall Timber Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Sprick Lake, 0.9 miles out. None of that is settled for Tall Timber Lake in what we hold.
