I have spent many years fishing that lake when I lived in Story and Mount Ida. Even when I lived in Hollis I would make over there more than Nimrod which was a lot closer. Not sure why now that I think about it, just worked out that way. Yea I usually put in at Hwy 27 bridge and go up river, or to the first set of flats across from the ramp, dog show grounds is what we use to call it. There are some good brush piles around Mountain Harbor though, and with a little deeper water, the fish tend to be a little bigger down that way.

Fished alot up Cedar creek, and big branch as well. Right now should be stripper running time up around the Ouachita river and Manley shoals.
