They are where ever stocked as they are not native fish here in Arkansas. We did good last year with Rockhoppers (weighted fly ) tipped with Chartruse Crappie Nibbles. I also use peices of bright colored plastic Trout Worms on a bream hook tipped with Crappie Nibbles on Conway Lake.:D THE BIGGEST LAST YEAR THERE WERE 11''

Also, get them up out of the water as quick as possible to keep them from messing up the bed area.

Caught 48 nice ones Monday and another 48 on Tuesday. All nice big ones around 3/4 pound.

Going after some 1-2 pounders Saturday.

SweetHome - you got to post some pics of them Bama bream yer going after Saturday. I ain't never got to experience any bream fishin like y'all do.
