Kids Make It More Fun. There are great fishing holes all over Arkansas. Several are just right for taking the kids along. There's nothing quite like the squeal of excitement from a kid who has just pulled his first fish from the water.
Kids make fishing more fun.
Taking the kids along may make for a little extra work, but children remember and cherish those special times spent fishing with parents and grandparents. Many larger Arkansas cities provide city park lakes and ponds with ample bank fishing areas and some piers. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has 53 lakes scattered across the natural state and stocked with catfish, bream, bass and crappie. Some are stocked with exotic fish such as hybrid striped bass and saugeye. All areas of the state have lakes that would be great for fishing with children.
