Cow Bayou

Anyone have any luck in the smaller lakes of NEA? I fish Keithley in Madison some and 9 mile. Wanna try cow bayou. Anyone know what the river lever has to be before it backs up in there?

Sorry can't help on cow bayou. I know it can get right. But how have you been doing at 9 mile? 8-10 years ago it was outstanding. Nice color and nice crappie around every deep cover. Flooded one spring and stays dingy since plus full of jumping carp. I have gone from 200 a day with 30 or so good ones to a handful of dinks.

Twenty years ago when we lived In Jonesboro we fished Cow Bayou some but can't help you now. Welcome to Crappie.Com from Fayetteville.

9 mile has been good in the last few years but it’s no where near a 200 a day lake. 2 summers ago we caught around 50 jigging the tops. Never went back due to work. Last summer we caught a very few but we haven’t actually hit it hard since. Now Keithley lake in Madison is very hard to get in to. No boat with a trailer can get in here but luckily I have a 12 foot Jon boat. Only locals fish it for bream and it’s over populated with crappie. 100 fish in just a few hours was common but you have to weed through the little ones to get your limit of eating size fish.

I haven't fished Cow Bayou since they put in the road with the culverts. Never have been to the upper end. I go by there weekly. I did notice the water is up and is flooded into the edge of the fields on the far side.

So I guess the river is in it? We caught some huge crappie in a bait net last summer at the culverts. We let them all go

I'm not sure about the river being in it. If its not, it's close.
