Hi, I moved to AR in November 2018, since then , I used to go for fishing every weekend in Lake Atalanta, First few weeks I got some bluegills only and in Jan & Feb they stocked 2300 trouts in total, now it seems like almost all the trouts were taken, because even its not biting on both artificial and live baits, so I am looking for Bass only, plenty of large mouths are there but you have to release immediately, if you are looking for bass check for the area where its fully covered with aquatic plants before the boat ramp, Use top water creature baits, you can also try trouts using power bait orange or rainbow eggs, live red worms will also works, but I am doubtful about the number of trouts left there.I never caught a single catfish from that lake, but I tried all the different baits, but nothing brings any luck, people are usually fishing for catfish in the other end of the lake(near the dam), I am not sure about the motor boats rules , but lot of kayakers are there.The general rules for fishing follows Daily Limits: 3-catfish, 5-trout, 25-bream, Largemouth bass must be released,Fishing with handheld rod only.Trout permits are required to retain Thanks
