    I'd also like to hear about Old Town. Where are the camping sites there, and do they have water/electric?

    If you camp at Old Town, you better bring a large and heavy safe to store your gear in while you are out fishing. Or take stuff you don't mind having stolen.

    three launch sites but only one concrete ramp about half way down. bait shop is east of the intersection coming from walnut corner. Lake averages about 6 feet deep with 10 foot water being a deep hole. good color but a wind muddies it up quickly. If you like catfish set out about 30 yo-yos baited with worms oin the south side around the cypress trees and get ready for some catfish cleaning. Watch out for mr green jeans 'cause they are so bored they screw with you just to have something to do. Stay legal.10 whiskerfish/person. no monsters but good eaters.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The sheep live in fear of the wolf but in the end it's the shepherd that eats them.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang and
    a gun the goes bang when it is supposed to go click.

    they let area farmers pump it dry in summer. The catfish out of there are better eating than midway or below the dam on the arkansas. You caught 14 on crickets. 30 yo-yos and worms will fill the boat.
