Bank Fishing Conway

[chazrull]

I gotta make another road trip to Conway on Friday. I'm planning on squeezing in some bank fishing while I'm there. Would someone mind giving me a general fishing report? I was thinking of trying below the dam or the Caney creek launch area.

I know Hwy 89 bridge is popular but it seems like a pretty small area to fish from the bank.

Thanks for any help!

What time of day will you be fishing? The 89 bridge during the week starts to clear out a little bit by mid day. Fishing under the bridge around the pillars either side can be productive. Pierce Creek boat dock is also another good spot, but will more than likely have a crowd. The upside of the dam is a good spot for jig and cork action as well. Caney Creek with a jig and cork may also do ok. I havent had any recent reports from Conway, however it is about time for some good bank fishing.

I plan on getting there around 11 or 12...would like to stay away from a crowd. Last time I went to a public fishing dock off of Short Circle. There were a few people there, which wasn't so bad except for the language, but a boat pulled up within casting distance of the dock!

The pierce creek landing needs some major cleaning up. I stop by there some and fish before and after work. From what I have seen there are a few individuals that like to hang out a lot there drinking and cussing and not even be fishing. I was there one evening on the weekend with my 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son and had to ask a guy to watch his mouth because he just kept cussing, he apologized and continued on drinking. In my opinion there are a lot of good spots to stop by and bank fish and Pierce creek is a good one, I have caught some good fish there. I just hate to see some ruin it for others because they cant keep the drinking and cussing at the house.
