been out of town for a few days and just saw your post. Ditto, on the advise LRJOE gave you the south end of Beaver has a better population of crappie and the water always has a little more stain, the north end is gin clear. In addition, the south end has more standing cover. I haven't been on the lake in five or six weeks. However, South town sporting goods in Fayetteville will have some info at times, they are also the best place to buy minnows. Hope this helps some, If you want more details feel free to send me a PM. I agree with Kent please leave those nasty stripers on the north end. lol
