Randy,Tbone I'ved also fished a little north of there on the White River.(Cotter, Ar.) Same methods as above. To fish the bottom I rigged carolina stlye with a 1/8 or 1/4 wt. and a leader of 4lb test. You can also bait with corn straight from the can or roll some cheddar into little balls. The power baits are good. I've thrown the rapala's in a broken back, baby trout color and small(tiny)spoons. Last time I went I bought a new fly reel and put $55 worth of string on it, then didn't even try it. Also, the lakes have pretty good bass fishing if you bring your boat.
