Lake Greeson, located in southwestern Arkansas, is a hidden gem for fishing enthusiasts seeking a tranquil angling experience. This 7,000-acre reservoir is nestled among the scenic Ouachita Mountains and offers excellent fishing opportunities.

One of the most popular fish species in Lake Greeson is largemouth bass. The lake is known for its quality bass fishing, with the potential to catch both numbers and trophy-sized fish. Anglers can target largemouth bass around submerged structure, brush piles, and rocky areas. Spring and fall are prime seasons for bass fishing, as the fish become more active and feed aggressively. Anglers can use techniques such as flipping and pitching jigs, casting spinnerbaits, or working topwater lures to entice these hard-fighting gamefish.

Crappie fishing is also prominent in Lake Greeson. The lake is home to black crappie and white crappie, attracting anglers seeking these popular panfish. Spring and fall are particularly productive seasons for crappie fishing, with the fish moving into shallower areas to spawn or feed. Anglers can target crappie around submerged timber, brush piles, and bridge pilings using jigs, minnows, or small crankbaits.

Lake Greeson also offers opportunities to catch catfish, including channel catfish and blue catfish. Anglers can target catfish year-round, using a variety of baits such as cut bait, chicken liver, or stink baits. The lake's coves, channels, and points are popular spots for catfish angling.

Lake Greeson in Arkansas offers a serene fishing experience, with its diverse fish populations, quality bass and crappie fisheries, and opportunities for catfish angling. Combined with its boating amenities and camping facilities, Lake Greeson provides anglers and outdoor enthusiasts with a tranquil retreat in the heart of southwestern Arkansas.

Rock bluffs and thick forests line over 75 miles of shoreline, creating a beautiful setting for boating, camping and fishing.
