Here's the latest AGFC Arkansas Outdoors issue, including a cover of a list of "America's Top 50 Lakes". Of course Mississippi should be patting themselves on the back with 3 of the top 5. What do you all think?

I suspect fishhound may be getting lots of their data on these lakes straight from crappie.com.
I am confuse? How did conway lake fall so low when D10 said it was first.:dono Am I missing something. I looking at his maps not all the other bs. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/arkan...k-there-4.html
I know for a fact that d10's basis for comparisons (fact and science) were different than those used by fishhound (opinions of people who have never fished more than five of these lakes). If you think Conway is anything less than a stellar fishery, I suggest you try out some other lakes.
1. Grenada Lake, MS
2. Sardis Lake, MS
3. Kentucky Lake, TN
4. Reelfoot Lake, TN
5. Arkabutla Lake, MS
6. Green River Lake, KY
7. Lake Washington, MS
8. Barkley Lake, KY
9. Lake Dardanelle
10. Logan Martin, AL
11. Weiss Lake, AL
12. Nimrod Lake
13. Clarks Hill, GA
14. Chickamauga Lake, TN
15. Patoka Lake, IN
16. Santee Cooper Lakes, SC

23. Toledo Bend, TX
24. Alabama River, AL
25 Lake Erie, OH
26. Texoma Lake, TX
27. Buckeye Lake, OH
28. Kaw Lake, OK
29. Ross Barnett, MS

I would Take Washington and Dardanelle over KY, Reelfoot or Green River anytime...I also would put Washington in the top four...I mean come on 17 lb plus torney stringers...Watch out Grenada... Washington is trying to knock you off that number one spot. LOL
CrappiePro's Top 10:
Grenada
Washington
Sardis
Dardanelle
Arkabutla
Reelfoot
KY Lake
Weiss
Truman
Santee Cooper
CP thanks for you input on your top 10 lakes.
Bigben Why would fishhound place the Ar lake in the order they did? Would it not be closer to where d10 map produced. FH put lake Dardanelle at 9th out of 50 on there list and D10 put it a lot lower on there list of lakes. It seem the the two would be closer.
I don't see Poinsett on that list:biggrin
That's a monster!Quote:

I got a fiberglass replica made. They asked what size mold that I wanted and I told them a 2.5 lber x 16 1/4 inches. They said" that fish ain't near that big, are you gonna lie about it". I told them "naw I ain't gonna lie, I'm just gonna put a tag on the bottom that says original fish as seen throught a 10x leupold".Quote:

AGFC survey tells what the population looks like. It does not mean that because there are a ton of fish in the lake anglers will catch them. We try our best to make sure they are there, but we can't make them bite your hook.
Hard for me to think Hamilton is in the top 50. I have never fished it because I would be afraid to be on it with anything besides Mrs DP's 24' boat. I do love pulling over there for a Summer evening dinner cruise though.

I did the math and here are the state totals.
1 Lake - LA SC
2 Lakes - MO IN
3 Lakes - GA IL KY OK FL OH
4 Lakes - TX AL
5 Lakes - TN
6 Lakes - AR
7 Lakes - MS
Looks like to me MS isn't the only state with bragging rights.
I hear you on the number, but the average position (lower is better) of MS lakes is 13th, while Arkansas is 31st...Quote:
