Horseshoe Bend - Strawberry River Area Question

Hey guys. My fishing partner and i have a friend down by Horseshoe Bend. By the Strawberry river. We are going down there. March 18-22. Hows the crappie fishing in that area? As i have never been down there for crappie fishing. Can anyone recommend some lakes etc in that area? Real windy up here today with rain on the way. Otherwise i would be out ice fishing Lake Delavan in Wisconsin. Its about 40 min away from me. Cant wait to hear about the fishing in your guys neck of the woods. Oh ya our friend down there does not fish. That's why i am asking. Used to go to Kentucky lake and Reel foot. Did well on the crappies down there. But want to try Arkansas. Thank you.

I'm not familiar with that part of the state or i would throw out some advice. Hope you guys catch a boat load though!

Crappie Cowboy lives up there

In Horseshoe Bend is Crown lake. It is a small lake but is just a small version of the highland type reservoirs. There are crappie in it, you will have to search for them. I fish it a couple times a year when I'm over there turkey hunting. If you want to travel a little, Norfork is an hour and a half or so to the west.
