good read and good fish, I bet that gar was a blast to land!
Well I have spent many years on Nimrod lake as it was my back yard growing up in Hollis, AR. When they draw that lake down low like they do, it can be a real blast catching just about anything. Its been about 10 years since I have been back there as I no longer live in AR. How has the draw down on the lake affected the fish overall. Is the corps building more fish structure or are they just seeding grass still?
NICE Gar and great Article!
Good article and good fish. Bet that gar was a tussle on a jig pole.
The Crappie fishing seems to improve some. The Corps seeded some millet but most of the plants grew on their own. It was willow sprouts , but mostly swamp grass call nutsedge that grew on the lake bed. The only piles being rebuilt I know of were the ones the corps helped with sinking materials gathered by Crappie.com folks.Quote:

I am sure they are long gone by now though. Next time I come down there I will have to give you a haller and see what is going on. I used to fish some stump beds up near the dam on the NW side. I remember junebug being a good color for bass.
There are several stump beds that most folks don't even realize close to the dam near deep water.Quote:
