[font "Arial"]Lake Dardanelle: Early Bird Outfitters said the lake clarity is poor because the level keeps fluctuating. Bream fishing is good using worms and crickets. Crappie fishing is poor. Bass fishing is fair. Catfishing is good stink bait and shad. [/font]
[font "Arial"]Ozark Pool: Lakeside Food Mart said the river is stained but almost at a normal level. Bream fishing is good on worms and crickets. Crappie are good from 6- to 10-feet deep on minnows. Bass fishing is fair on plastic worms and jigs. Catfish are good on stink bait and shad. Watch out for floating debris.[/font]
[font "Arial"]Lake Ouachita: Mountain Harbor Resort said the water temperature is 80- to 86-degrees. The water is clear, and the lake level is 573.05. Largemouth bass are still fair to good; these fish are still schooling and can be caught with Roostertails, hair jigs and spoons. Night fishing is picking up; use black spinner baits and bloodline, tequila or red-bug worms. Try main lake points for best results. Frog baits fished over the top of the moss are producing some fish as well. Walleye are fair with reports of these fish still being caught over or near large moss flats and humps. Deep-diving rouges and live bait have been the most effective. Try water depths of 20- to 30-feet. Stripers are still very good on live bait on the east end of the lake. These fish are still located around main points and rock bluffs near or in the river channels. Bream are excellent on crickets and worms. Try water depths of 8 to 20feet. Crappie are still fair and being caught over brush piles and moss flats using feather jigs, 2-inch grubs and minnows. Try main lake points and large moss flats 15- to 30-feet deep. The best colors are white, silver and Tennessee shad. Catfish are still very good and being caught with night crawlers, stink bait, hot dogs and live minnows. Jug lines and trotlines are the most productive for these fish; however, rod-and-reel fishing is still very good. [/font]
[font "Arial"]Lake Catherine: Dozhier’s Bait Shop and Rainbow Landing said walleye are being taken trolling with deep-running crankbaits, such as Bandits, with some of the best action between Carpenter Dam Bridge and the first shoals below the dam, which is across from Twin Creeks and between Diamondhead boat ramp and the sandbar. Bass are going for Carolina-rigged lizards and worms fished along steep shorelines. Trout are slow, but a few continue to be taken below the dam using night crawlers and Power Bait. Stripers and hybrids are working the area directly below the dam, and they are going for live shad, red fins and flukes. Bream are deep and hitting crickets and worms. Catfish are hitting chicken blood, cut shrimp and night crawlers.[/font]
[font "Arial"]Lake Hamilton: Dozhier’s Bait Shop and Rainbow Landing said there is some good top-water action early mornings with schooling bass breaking. Most of these bass are Kentuckies in the one-pound class. Later, worms and lizards are working along shorelines. Walleye are being found along the main channel where creeks and bays open into the main channel. Silver spoons jigged off the bottom in 25- to 30-feet of water are working. Catfish are going for large shiners, night crawlers and chicken blood dough baits. Bream are deep and holding off structures and brush piles. Crickets and red worms fished 8- to 12-feet deep are taking some nice size bluegills and red fins. [/font]
[font "Arial"]Lake Hinkle: Bill's Bait Shop said the lake is clear and almost at a normal level. Crappie are excellent on minnows. Bass are doing really well on plastic worms, minnows and buzzbaits. Catfish are fair using chicken liver. [/font]
[font "Arial"]Lake Atkins: Lucky Landing said the lake is clear and at a normal water level. Bream are fair on worms and crickets. Crappie fishing is slow. Bass are fair on spinner baits and plastic worms. Catfish are fair on night crawlers and catfish bait.[/font]
