Horseshoe Lake near Hughes AR used to have a lot of them but that's a long way from Murfreesboro.
Thanks Mac Daddy distance isn't a problem as we are looking for a place to fish the first week of June vacation time lol
Go back to Millwood, I can't believe they are all gone. I know flooding will kill the Lilly pad beds for a year or two, but they will come back. There should be some places on the Arkansas river.
Lake conway is loaded with em!
Merrisach lake has tons of lilly pads.
Upper White Oak has a pretty good amount. Not too far from you.
Little maumelle river
dardanelle
You must be thinking of another lake. There aren’t any pads on Conway. [emoji16]Quote:

I like fishing the edges and pockets for big bluegills on ultra light tackle along with the family it is a blastQuote:

Right on. Yeah, Lake Conway is a sure bet in June. Adams Lake landing has acres of them around then. They're everywhere else too, but that'd be a good place to start.Quote:

I knew I had heard about the AGFC putting out herbicide in the past but knew it had to be just a few spots .Quote:

Matt, this image is off Google Earth from Upper White Oak in 2010. Can you explain what was done here in these pads?

It looks like a herbicide applicator sprayed the vegetation (not sure if it is pads) in a grid pattern, which is common. To get a 100% correct answer, call Andy Yung (District Supervisor who manages White Oak) 877-836-4612 ext 1454. He should be able to answer your questions. Thanks.
Lake Conway has countless acres of lilly pads, also an over abundance of gator weed, if you are looking for a lake with vegetation ya cant go wrong at Conway, we had coontail moss last year almost thick enough to walk on in part of the lake along with lilly pads and a over abundance of gator weed. Where the agfc killed pads a few years ago they have just about taken over again. If your home lake don't have gator weed n it, I strongly suggest washing your boat and trailer after visiting Lake Conway to prevent transferring this invasive species of grass. Gator weed has the potential to ruin a fishery as well as coontail grass for that matter.
