Welcome Hpcrappieman, good to have you.Just my opinion of course but I think you would be happy with the fishing situation living in LR. You would be smack dab in the middle of the state,and could access most any lake within a three hour drive max. Just up the road is Lake Conway, 6500 acres I think, largest state owned lake, good fishing. Probably 20-30 min away. About an hour south and west is Hot Springs area, a couple of good lakes there. Just to the east is England area, several oxbows and creeks there. I guess what I'm getting at is there are alot of good fishing close to Little Rock. Hope it works out for you.
