In addition to the smallmouth, you'll also find Ozark bass, a subspecies of Rock bass(google eye). They are so cool- they look like a cross between smallmouth and crappie. Even the smallest one fights like a tiger. I've had good luck with a thing they sell at wal-mart that's called the claw. I think the manufacturer is Renosky or something like that. It's kind a silly looking, just a lead head w/a small crawfish body, but drag that thing slowly across the bottom of the gravel and they'll nail it. Good luck. BTW, I have caught crappie at the confluence of the Buffalo and the White River. About blew my mind. Maybe we all should fish the buffalo one more time before the hog farm at Mt. Judea cranks up operation. Might not be the same after that.
