Fishing in Bella Vista: Lakes & Rivers

Let us "HOOK" you up with some great fishing!

Bella Vista boasts some of the best fishing in Northwest Arkansas on 8 lakes stocked with bass, catfish, crappie and other pan fish. Beaver Lake and White River are less than 30 minutes away, and provide striper (striped bass) and trout (rainbow and brown) fishing as well.

Anyone over 14 years of age must have an Arkansas State Fishing License, and must have a Bella Vista POA Membership Card or Guest Card in order to fish Bella Vista. Feel free to bring your own fishing boat for use on the lakes with a Temporary Boat Permit, or boat rentals are available at the Loch Lomond Marina. Guests must obtain a daily, weekly or monthly lake use permit. Daily permits are $3.00.

Bait, fishing equipment, guide services and information on "what's biting" are available locally at the Loch Lomond Marina by calling 479-855-8182 or Hook, Line & Sinker Bait Shop at 479-271-8118.
