Fishing Regulations in Arkansas
Size limits, bag limits, and seasons by species in Arkansas.
In Arkansas, the Game and Fish Commission writes the rules for famous trout tailwaters like the White and Norfork below their dams, alongside the bass, walleye, and stripers of Beaver, Bull Shoals, and Greers Ferry. Trout waters and reservoirs each carry their own limits and seasons, so know the regulations for your species and stretch before you keep a fish.
