How Highs the water Mama, "6 feet high and rising" To quote Jonny Cash

[slabsntaters]

Well Lake Conway is no Longer 6700 acres, Its litteraly 6' high and rising. Boat trails dont mean a thing now, go anywhere you want to, just dodge the standing timber. I was talking to the Biologist Around these parts yesterday and he was saying this will be good for the fish populations, I told him I was sure it would be, where ever the water stops flowing is where all the fish will be. Be it dumas or the Mississippi River.

Greers is up 15' since the rain started last week.

I like it when Greers gets high, The bass Fishing is awesome, I wish the trout would all wash away in Little Red and they would turn it into a world class Smallmouth bass stream.

+1 on the trout getting washed away. Then we could spend some money on stcking crappie ans not trout. I bet Mississippi gets more out of state fishermen for crappie than Arkansas does on trout which means more money.

I wish those dams could be turned into warm water releases. I would love to ride down to the White river here in town and watch all those trout float belly up down river.

Seems that fish have just spawned here in conway and where they layed thier eggs now have six feet or more of water and cold temps over them now keeping the sun off them. Not Good im my opinion but im no Fish Bio either.

Well Crappie pro you are correct, it cant be good, However prior to the super flush, that we recieved I was on the lake and I had noticed that there was a huge number of fry in the shallow waters of the lake, I aint for sure what kind of fry it was but suspect a great deal of it was bass fry, they were so tiny that the only way you could see it was when you fish through it and it scattered, I dont know how the cold water will affect the tiny fry that had already hatched out. But the local bio seemed inthused by the high water and the positive effects it was going to have on the fishery. I still lean more to the side of how can it be good. I guess I dont have the edumacation that these guys have so I will just hope they are correct in thier assumption of the positive effects.

You know it did this 3 or 4 years ago.... I don't know about you guys but the last 3 or 4 years I have caught ALOT of good crappie...prob the best years I have had on the lake...
I have no reason for why it would help... But I can't justify arguing when I have no edumacation and they do.
All the old folks on the lake bash the AGFC and Corps, say they ruined the lake....I just laugh! That lake is LOADED with big ole crappie!








That just a few from my phone.. I got piles of pictures from "That Crappy Ole Lake"
