Bass Fishing on Lake Bailey

Join a park interpreter at the boathouse to learn about using artificial lures to catch one of Petit Jean's aquatic predators, the largemouth bass. Learn how to set up your rod, select an appropriate lure, and entice a bass into biting. At the end, you will have an opportunity to try your hand at catching one of these voracious predators. Bring your own fishing rod and tackle box if you have them or there will also be a few rods available to borrow. Also consider bringing a hat and sunglasses. *This activity is part of Arkansas' Free Fishing Weekend and no fishing licenses are required.
