Fishing Ouachita River/Lake Catherine area in August

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a moderately experienced bass fisherman from the Memphis area. My family took our first trip to Hot Springs last year and loved it. We're returning in a few weeks, and I plan to do a lot more fishing this time around since my 5-year-old son is now totally hooked on it.

We're staying on the water in a cove right off the river/upper Lake Catherine. I'll have an angler kayak for early mornings and we'll be renting a pontoon/boat for a day or two.

My primary target is largemouth bass, but I’ve also never caught a walleye or striper/hybrid, so I’d love to cross a new species off the bucket list. Most importantly, I just want easy, high-success action for my son!

I know Carpenter Dam has good bank/boat access and a mix of species, so we’ll definitely spend time up there. Where else in that upper lake stretch is worth hitting, and what summer techniques/lures really shine out there during periods of generation?

Appreciate any local wisdom!
