Panfish


Bream or Sunfish (Bluegill, Redear, Pumpkinseed, etc.)


Bluegill are here and they can be caught in good numbers in the spring when they move shallower to spawn.  For the rest of the season, the bigger bluegill and other bream will be found in deeper water.

White Bass


There are good numbers of white bass in Bull Shoals Lake and many anglers do target them.  In the spring, you can find tons of them in the shallows as they run up into the creeks to spawn.  While many of these fish will stay inside the creeks into early summer, you will have to fish much deeper if you come here once summer temperatures set in.  From summer through winter, white bass will school up over deeper water.
