Greetings..Another new member from Conway

Hey all...just discovered this site last week and am enjoyin it. I have dropped my fishin' addiction ;) for about the last 20 years...but I am taking it back up. Right now I am in the process of gearing up and studying. So this site is awesome. Just a couple questions..

1. I grew up in Batesville (BHS '77), used to fish the White River there constantly. We caught a ton of fish. I go back regularly to visit family. How is the fishing on White River say from Lock 1 up to Lock 3 these days?
   
2. Does anybody ever fish down the Arkansas River from ToadSuck? I've seen folks put in there....what can I expect down from the dam?

Lookin foward to learnin from you folks...

Welcome
I don't recall many river fisherman on here fishing those parts of either river. There sure are some fun sand bars about halfway between LR and Toad Suck. I do more toon boating on the river.

I fish the White between Lock 1 and 2 some. You can catch fish but don't look for any wall hangers. Oh welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site!

Sorry I can't help you in the Toadsuck areas. They're just too far from Hot Springs for me to go these days.

Stick around. These folks are friendly and anxious to share their knowledge. <><

Welcome from central Arkansas. Sorry I can't help with your questions either. I haven't done any river fishing in the locations you are asking about but I'll bet someone will have something that will help you.

If you haven't tried, use the search tab in the forum and see if anything turns up there. Ya never know....

Welcome to the site.

Welcome. I fish in the river from Batesville to Guion, mostly for bass never had much luck catching crappie in this cold river.

Welcome from Cabot... We do a ton of jugging for catfish at Toad Suck and do really well. I really haven't fished any other species out there.

Well, here's a welcome from Toadsuck.

I catch a few crappie there on the Perry County side of the river, usually while tossing tube jigs for whatever I can catch. A lot of people fish for crappie right under the bridge by throwing out to the wall. The hole down at the boat ramp is also popular where the park shoves their brush into the water to stabilize the bank.

How and where to fish Toadsuck seems entirely dependent upon the water flow through the dam. Even during April-May, they are sometimes hard to locate. The best times seem to be early in the morning and late in the evening.

Good Luck. Hope to see you at the river!
