Arkansas - City Park Ponds
Little Rock, West Memphis, Hot Springs, Jonesboro, and Fort Smith all stock their park waters with trout during the cool months and channel catfish in the summer. Hybrid stripers also go into some of the ponds. They're all small, but these little jewels yield the highest catch rates in the state. The program is geared for families and first-time anglers, who can borrow rods and reels at loaner stations or local libraries. Clifton Jackson, 501-223-7322; agfc.com
Guide's Tips
Species: Catfish
Guide: Clifton Jackson; agfc.com; 501-223-7322
Rig Specifics: A 5 1/2-foot, medium-light rod with 8- to 12-pound-test line. Use a size 4 bait-holding hook with chicken liver.
Quick Tip: Overcast days in the mid-80s are ideal. 5 to 8 pm are the best hours.
Where to Fish: Off any point, contour change, and around structure. The ponds are loaded, get out there and you'll catch something.
