 The Buffalo River is a favorite with anglers. Long
pools and shallow riffles provide excellent opportunities for fishing. The Buffalo and its tributaries comprise one
of the Nation’s richest areas in total number of fish species. Game fish of
choice are the small mouth, largemouth and spotted bass, catfish, Ozark bass,
and a variety of panfish. Favored traditional methods of fishing are bank
fishing and float fishing in flat-bottomed johnboats. Float fishing is most
common on the lower (eastern) half of the river.
State and National Park
Service regulations govern fishing. An Arkansas fishing license is required.
Catch and release of smallmouth bass is encouraged (with artificial lures,
barbless hooks, and careful handling). Smallmouth bass kept must be at least
14 inches in length with a limit of two per day.
