Water temps are starting to rise in the oxbows and back waters off the AR river. Still early and will probably have a few setbacks with the weather. I had a report of many crappie being caught at Taylor old river (which is private) but haven't confirmed. If that's the case, Douglas shouldn't be far behind.
Welcome and thanks for the report. I look for the water temps to rise early if we don't get some of these gin clear lakes back up to full here in central Arkansas.

Welcome to the site from Conway.
water temp was 56.7 this morning at 8am when i started fishing and 60.3 at345 this afternoon when i quit.
I was on chicot yesterday, on the main lake at end of whiskey shoot sundown temp was 56
I fished Taylor old river a lot as a kid. I'd love to fish it again.
Temp on the AR river at PB was 43 degrees. The backwater I fished today got to 54 before I left. I caught two 14" plus and 3 more in the 10" range. Some friends fished water off the river near Dumas and didn't do too good. I'm going to hit them again tomorrow!! Fish Safe.
Can you put a boat in at douglas right now i heard it was to low to launch a boat but im itchin to try it we did pretty good last year,
went to old town lake saturday at 6 im mormin it was 57 at 2 in afternoon it was 65
Rieve I think Douglas is too low to launch a boat on a trailer. I heard fishing is good but you have slide a small boat in to fish.
sacaslayer did you get any today
Welcome to the site. We saw 56 degree on river oxbows.
Man, what a difference a day makes! Went back to the same hole and caught one. Yesterday, the bass were hitting, fish jumping out of the water and no wind. Today, 15 to 30 mph winds, one bass and one crappie. The previous post about Taylor was correct. A friend of mine and his wife got to go Saturday and caught 55 crappie and 4 nice bream. The water was low so they were gathered up tightly and hungry. The river has been low so no new water has been in for a while. Fish Safe!
