Lake Maumelle
(updated 3-5-2026) WestRock Landing in Roland (501-658-5598) said the water temperature Wednesday midday was ranging 57-58 degrees. The lake remains 7.3 feet below normal pool. New boat ramps are open; they suggest trimming your motor, however.

The largemouth bass bite this past week has been good. Reports have them still in pre-spawn mode, and anglers are catching them in 2-6 feet depth. The spawn should be happening soon. Try using square bills, spinnerbaits and Chatterbait. Spotted bass (aka Kentucky bass) also have been biting well and are mixed in with the largemouths in that 2-6 feet depth, with some also being caught at 12 feet. Spinnerbaits and jigs are your best bet for spots.

Some good black bass stringers were brought in Feb. 28 in the WestRock Landing Winter Series Fish-Off, with Matt Hedrick hauling in 22.16 pounds of black bass. Daniel and Larry Romine were right behind with 21.24 pounds, including a 5.77-pound Big Bass.
White bass have picked up with good reports of late. There have been some reports of anglers catching males west of the bridge last weekend. There are also reports of a few females east of the bridge on Wednesday morning. One angler reported catching two still out in the main lake off the shoreline. With the rainfall forecast for this weekend, this should help with their annual patterns. Try using Twister Tails, jigs, spoons or shad-imitating lures. Crappie have been slow. They are anywhere from 9-30 feet, so it’s been tough for anglers, but they are catching a few nice ones here and there.

No reports on bream or catfish.
