Minimum

Dumb question but is there a min length on crappie at any lakes here I searched and searched on the agfc website and all I found was a 14 in bass lim on Arkansas river fed waters

Beaver lake has a 10 inch min length.

Eye balls and a tail is all they need for you to keep them on Conway, if you can clean them you can keep them.

No length limit here on Greers but they have to be 10" for me.

Look in the rule book. It has a section that shows the rules on each lake and another on the rivers.
The lakes along the MO line all have a 10 inch length

Most Arkansas waters have no length limit. A few are listed in the AGFC regs booklet of being 9'' or 10''. Maybe a typo on your part but Bass in some water have a length limit and Arkansas River waters Largemouths must be 15''. Nimrod had a 10'' length several years ago, but it was removed. Unless the crappie are real fat or your real hungry fish under 9'' are not worth cleaning. Here even though we have no length limit I carry measuring boards. Easier to cull and don't wind up throw'n bigger fish back than we keep. Took a older guy fishing once and he could'nt see both lines marked on ice chest lid. Tossed back fish that were really good keepers till I showed him both marks. lol lol

I think all the Corps of Engineers lakes have a has to be OVER 10" minimum.

No, I know Nimrod doesn't have a 10" limit anymore and it's a Corp lake. I agree with Nimrod that unless you're just real fish hungry a 10 incher would probably be as small as you would want to keep. I know that he gives me a hard time about keeping smaller than that but I am just concerned that the lake is so full of 8 1/2 to 9 inch crappie. I feel like a few of these should be taken out too. I just don't want to see the big fish population hurt by poor management of the smaller more numerous fish. I'm no biologist but I wish that we could get some answers on what to do about all the little crappie.
When you have to catch 70 to keep 20 10" or better crappie that tells me somethings not right.

david i agree with you i think its over populated . ithink they need to up the limit !!! when i was there in oct. we caught over a 100 per 1/2 day ! we caught so many small crappie (8-10in) it took the fun out fishing because it was not a challenge to catch fish but was aggravating to catch that many with a small amount of nice keepers!!! but it still a nice lake.
