Note a smallmouth bass daily limit of only 2 with a minimum length of 12 inches long for the South Fork Ouachita River and the main river above River Bluff Access. While the main river and the south and north forks flow within the Forest, much of the adjoining land is in fact private. Walleye and white bass are known to make spawning runs up the river and can provide some exciting fishing.

Eight public access points on the main river
