Are you talking about the Jungle on Greers Ferry?

i think he is referring to the break, down past arts pond, you pretty much need a two man scamper to get to em in there , but its another good wintering hole just to much trouble to fish for most folks!

I've have also heard some locals refer to this area as the scatters.

What area?? Where??

I wonder if a guy could get in there with a jet drive? If so I've got the ticket for that, unless you have to have a boat narrower than say 5'.

It's on Conway.

the problem isnt shallow its that the trees are so thick and log jams and such cant get in there with flat bottom and trolling motor, need push poles and have to be stealthy

need narrow and short boat or its nearly impossible, i cant fish it out of my 15 /48 wareagle to wide and to long!

Gotcha, years ago we used to fish some log jams on Conway in the winter. We would lay boards out across them and walk out onto the logs and fish down in between them. The logs would be stacked in there 30 to 40 feet wide from the bank. For the life of me I can't remember where that was exactly, a year or so ago I spent the whole day going to different places on the lake trying to find those log jams but never did. Seems like there was a bait shop place and/or a place to rent boats pretty close to where we fished. I told a friend of mine last week I would get on here and see if anybody knew of a place like that and if it still existed. Ring any bells?

We were down there the last few days. I was surprised by the lack of boats. Only one boat in the pool while I was there and he was catching. Just as we were leaving, I saw a non motored boat with 2 occupants heading that way as fast as they could paddle.

Never have fished the gold creek area, always fish at 89, but thinking about going tomorrow. Does Dan have minnows, or do I need to stop at Bates on my way from Little Rock?

Paul

Yes. Dan sells both golden shimmers and pink fathead minnows.

thanks Matt. Hope to meet you someday. I have a 14 ft. jon with a 15 hp merc. usually wearing red bibs in the winter. and fish out of the front seat of my boat with a manual trolling motor. Old man.

Paul

If you keep fishing Conway, I have no doubt that we will run into each other.

fished Conway in the late 60's when I was playing football and baseball at UCA. worked at Josh's Landing in the summers. took a 40 year lay off and started playing golf. retired in June and have been renewing my love of fishing. used to fish at Adams more than anywhere.

Very cool! You wouldn't happen to have any old pictures of Lake Conway from the 60's do you? It is pretty hard to find good old pictures of the lake. Congratulations on your retirement. I think that you made the right decision, choosing fishing over golf! I could never understand why someone would choose to spend a beautiful day in the outdoors, chasing around a little white ball. :)

Retirement is great with time enough (for now) to do both... after hitting the ground with sticks and cursing, you can relieve your frustrations by hitting the water with poles and cursing rotflrotflrotfl. Both provide the opportunity to be outdoors and to enjoy this great earth we have been given.

Thanks for posting pictures Dano. I was working in Arkansas a few years ago and rented a boat at gold creek. It wasn't the right time of year and we only caught a couple.

There were a couple guys hauling them in one right after the other. We thought we were doing something wrong ,they had a basket full and had to go get more bait. Come to find out they were keeping yellas:biggrin.

No pictures and that is a shame. Lot's more standing trees in the middle back then and c, d, and e trails marked much, much better than now.
