Fishery overview
Greers Ferry Lake is the Little Red River reservoir above Greers Ferry Dam. AGFC N1.01 sets a Greers Ferry smallmouth 12-inch minimum and daily 6, and the 2026-27 guidebook raised walleye to 16 inches on the lake and tributaries. No same-lake live water temperature is assigned, so current conditions stay Unavailable. This is not the Little Red trout tailwater.
