Hi all. I'm new to this group and I have been referring to this site looking for news and tips for Beaver Lake but haven't seen much. I'm new to fishing and haven't had much luck. Does anybody have any recent reports on what's happening at Beaver Lake? Preferably on spots between Horseshoe Bend and Hickory Creek. Thanks!
Welcome to the site chillphil, glad to have you. I can't help with Beaver lake, but there are some on here that will probably chime in and give some info.
if you leave out of hickory, head to the left back twords horseshoe bout a mile into the trip start looking to your left and with your graph you should be able to find the flats. fish the flats right next to the drop off, you will know when yu are there cuz the water will drop 10', 12', 15', 50', 39' and so on. this should start you out
Also look for sunken cover all over the flats
Welcome to the forum. Sure wish I could help with Beaver but it is so far from me I have never been there except on business. Never wet a hook in the place.
However, you might want to pay the project office a visit, at Rogers, and ask around for the 'resident fisherman.' There's always someone around that would fill that bill. They may not work at the offices but maybe one of the shops.
So, go up there, get a free map, a copy of the boating regulations and just introduce yourself. Surely there would be someone that can assist you.
Wishing you all the good fishin' luck! <><

Welcome to the board. You should contact JT Crappie Guide. He works Beaver and hiring a guide is the best way to learn some spots and techniques that work on a specified body of water.
Thank you all for your time and info. I will be trying the flats around Hickory Creek and setting up a tour with JT.
I'll be going out on the lake this weekend, so hopefully I'll have good news to share next week.
Good luck and stay safe if you're going out too.
...and the lake fluctuates a LOT so be careful of floating debris in the water.Quote:

Fish above in say, 12-15 feet of water for starters, using a drop-shot rig, maybe. The specks could be shallower, I dunno. It's all trial and error on a new lake.
If I was fishing Beaver, that's where I'd start. If it gets windy, find a cove and get on the lee side sos you can see the line when you get a strike.
Another pattern I'd try is dock-shootin' the docks near a point or deeper water. Docks are magnets for crappie in the fall; especially the ones just addressed or the old ones built on pilings. Regardless, you will have a ball exploring a new place. Let us know how you do, podnah.
