there are a few good articles online on the arkansas sportsman magazine related to lake Conway. Just do a searh for Arkansas Sportsman Magazine and then you can do a search by state and species of fish once on the site. Also check the AGFC website for the latest fishing report. Good luck and post a pic if you catch a big one.
we fish conway about twice a week, right now the crappie are around live cypress trees in 4-5 ft of water. they have been biting slow,but we have been catching 15-20 keepers a day. fish around palarm creek landind or gold creek landing, but go out away from everyone in the cypress trees should catch some crappie.Quote:

Butler I think they are just looking for pictures. You look at the Texas or Carolina board and you cant get a word in. Sure is a shame if you ask me. I have been fishing my whole life and sure have learned a bunch as a result of this site and some of the members that actually contribute to it.
Hello: I'm guilty of doin a lot off lookin and little posten. I plan to retire to Ark. in a year or two. My passion is Crappie fishing and wood working. With all the lakes you have down there it's hard for me to decide on which area to focus on. I'm leaning toward the Little Rock Hot Springs area. Planning on making a trip this spring. Any advise from you locals?
Fishawk, I am only 22 and trying to get more involved in fishing...I am on the other end of your spectrum LOL. I have gone to the White River Wildlife Refuge (around Dewitt) and there are a bunch of small lakes there to fish, within the refuge. Part of it is only open from March til December so it is not overly fished. It is flooded land that forms small lakes when they are done flooding it. You can go to the website http://whiteriver.fws.gov/ and get some information and there is also a visitors center there to get maps that show most of the lakes.
Thanks for the reply Guppy, Here in Iowa on the Mississippi we are kind of restricted to fishing the river (no lakes within 140 mi.) and it's usually " up or down or swift or slow and always muddy"! I'll be like a kid in a candy store in Arkansas!
You dont have to worry about a place to go fishing here, you have to worry about the weather and how close the weather people DONT get to "predicting" it.
