    Default Help with Shoal bay


    Planning on going to shoal bay this weekend. I'm sure nimrod will be messed up for a while and if I'm gonna make a wasted trip and have slim chance of doing any good I would rather see some new scenery . Having never been to shoal bay any tips would be appreciated!! I heard some decent size fish was being pulled outta there before the rain .

    With our huge rainfall it maybe muddy in all the creeks over there on Dardanelle. I hope Nimropd gets down quick but it is about 14' above winter pool.

    Running in about same rate it flows in. Expect them to increase the flow soon barring more rain. Just remember Nimrod Lake primary use ios flood control.

    Can you get to below the dam going upriver in a boat? If so, how far downstream do you have to put in?
    My wife keeps saying I never listen to her....... or something like that!

    I've put in and motored up white water rapids
    to the mouth of a creek just below Dam. I was sitting
    between two trees when it got really quiet
    15 seconds later my boat was dry docked on the
    bottom they turned the water off and it dropped fast.
    the first day or two after they close dam they bite well
    just below dam. hwy 7 bridge is a lot safer place to bank fish
