Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:25 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Bentonville

Fishing near Bentonville, Arkansas centers on Beaver Lake, the White River tailwater, and a network of small reservoirs and streams, giving anglers year-round options for bass, stripers, trout, catfish, and panfish. Clear Ozark water, steep bluffs, and rocky shorelines define much of the habitat, so downsized tackle and realistic presentations tend to outperform power tactics except in low-light or windy conditions.

Seasonal patterns around Bentonville are predictable. In late winter and early spring, prespawn largemouth and spotted bass stage on main-lake points, channel swings, and the first chunk-rock banks inside coves on Beaver Lake. Jerkbaits, Alabama rigs, and 3–4 inch swimbaits shine in the clear water. As water warms into the 60s, bass slide shallow onto pea gravel pockets and flooded bushes; finesse worms on shaky heads and green pumpkin jigs produce consistent bites. Summer pushes fish deeper to brush piles, standing timber, and bluff ends; this is prime time for vertical presentations with drop-shots, spoons, and football jigs along 20–35 ft structure.

Striped bass and hybrid stripers are a major draw on Beaver Lake. In spring, they run uplake following shad and can be found on river-channel bends and flats; live shad, big flukes, and topwaters work well when they surface. During the heat of summer, focus on the lower lake where deep, clear water concentrates bait; troll umbrella rigs or downlines with live shad along the thermocline, watching electronics constantly. Fall brings schooling fish to wind-blown points and pockets, where walking topwaters and spoons catch both stripers and white bass.

Crappie and panfish opportunities are strong close to Bentonville in small city lakes and on Beaver Lake arms. In spring, crappie flood shallow brush, laydowns, and boat docks in 4–8 ft of water; tiny tubes, marabou jigs, and minnows under fixed bobbers are straightforward and kid-friendly. As the water warms, they pull back to brush piles and timber in 12–25 ft; use slip-floats or vertical jigging to stay just above the cover. Bluegill and redear stack on gravel and rocky banks; small pieces of worm or trout magnet‑style plastics on 1/64–1/32 oz jigs keep rods bent all summer.

Trout fishing is driven by the nearby White River tailwater system below Beaver Dam. Cold, clear releases keep rainbow trout active year-round, with brown trout mixed in. Light spinning setups with 4–6 lb line excel; think inline spinners, small marabou jigs, and natural drifted baits. Fly anglers do well nymphing with pheasant tails, midges, and scuds under indicators, or stripping small streamers during generation pulses when water rises and trout chase.

Tactical tips: Bentonville’s clear water fisheries reward stealth—long casts, fluorocarbon leaders, and subtle, natural colors like shad, green pumpkin, and craw brown. Use electronics to locate bait balls, brush piles, and channel breaks instead of simply bank-beating. Wind is your ally on Beaver Lake; target wind-blown points and pockets when chasing bass or schooling stripers. Finally, keep several rod setups rigged—from finesse spinning to heavier casting gear—so you can quickly adapt to changing conditions and take advantage of brief feeding windows.
