NORTHWEST ARKANSAS - Weekly Fishing Report

Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
Randy Zellers (501)223-6406, e-mail: rdzellers@agfc.state.ar.us

This is the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's fishing report

November 4, 2009

Beaver Lake:  As of Tuesday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 1,128.91 feet MSL (Normal conservation pool – 1,120 MSL).

JT’s Crappie Guide Service (479-640-3980) said bass fishing has been very good. Medium-running, shad- or crawdad-colored crankbaits and spinnerbaits have worked very well along sloping chunk rock banks with flooded brush. Crappie fishing has been fair on black/white or red/chartreuse tubes tipped with minnows. The best location for crappie has been near brush on the bottom near creek ledges in 25 to 40 feet of water. White bass are suspended about 10 to 30 feet deep near main-lake and secondary points. Catfishing remains good after dark from the bank at Highway 12 bridge, Hickory Creek and Monte-NE. The best baits have been stink bait and liver.

Southtown Sporting Goods (479-443-7148) said the water is muddy and high. All species are slow because of all the flooding.

Beaver Tailwaters:  Ken Richards at Just Fishing Guides said the flow is still high with few wading opportunities due to the level of Table Rock Lake. There is some wading available by the dam and the first campground. Nymphing with strike indicators is providing the most consistent action. Zebra midges, small red San Juan worms, beadhead simple sow bugs, pheasant tails and olive or grey scuds are good bets.

Kings River: Ken Richards at Just Fishing Guides said the river level is a little high for fly-fishing and the water is starting to cool. Spin fishing with soft plastics on the bottom is the best bet now. Remember to slow your presentation as the water cools.

Lake Fayetteville:  Lake Fayetteville Boat Dock (479-444-3476) said the water is high and clear. Fishing is slow for all species and not many anglers are on the water.

Lake Sequoyah:  Lake Sequoyah Boat Dock (479-444-3475) said the water is high and clear. Bream are fair on worms and crickets. Crappie are slow, but a few have been caught on minnows and jigs in 5 feet of water. Bass are biting well on spinnerbaits and soft-plastic worms fished in 2 to 5 feet of water around weed beds near rocky points. Most of the bass being caught are small. Catfishing is slow on liver and live bream or goldfish. Not many anglers are on the water because of hunting seasons.
