Earlier this month, over 5,000 advanced fingerling Florida Bass were stocked in Lake Barnett in White County near Floyd, Arkansas. The fish were mostly 4-6" in size. This is part of an annual stocking program that began in 2021 to maintain the presence of Florida Bass genetics in the lake. Boosting Florida bass genetics is a win-win, creating a fishery with bigger, stronger bass that are more challenging and rewarding for anglers to catch.
