Caught a limit Parlarm Creek where it flows into the Arkansas River, caught on Minnows/Rosey reds slip bobbers, 3 to 4 feet deep, around lay downs, use a long pole to reach out and touch em. In about 25 years of fishing this creek from Sept to April I have never been skunked. This creek has em. Crappiepro
Sounds like a great fishing hole, thanks for the report and congrats on the catch.
sounds like you have got you a honey hole
another good report....thanks crappie pro.
That is from the boat launch out to the river????? Man.....we always went up the creek....of coarse i haven't fished that spot in yrs. Glad somebody is getting them though...GOOD JOB!
Looks like you have got the late winter pattern figured out.
Hey JJ Long Pole, yes fish up the creek, but wait until after the creek flow gets stable agian after all these rains. Key to fishing this creek is just after they shut the dam down on Lake Conway. Go up the creek and Fish the nastiest lay downs you can find and keep your splitshot about four inches from the hook and gently lift and drop your baits in and out of holes in the brush. Keep moving until you find a lay down that starts producing, then tie off and let em have it. Good luck Crappie Pro
Ha, Ha!
I went out to Gold Creek to watch you catch 'em there. All I caught was three tiny dinks. Now you are catching them somewhere else. Where are you going to be catching them at tomorrow and the next day? I might need some advance notice!
Hey Skunkum I will be in Dix and Pierce Creek/Lake Conway Thurs, Friday Gold Creek/Lake Conway, and Sat I will be at Choctaw on Greers Ferry. Can't fish Parlarm on the river right now, water is a little high if you know what I mean. But anyways thats my fishing plan for this week, hope to see ya on the water. Crappiepro
Way to go CrappiePro! Looks like a real good catch. Thanks for the report and info.
You da man CrappiePro!
where is the ramp on Parlarm Creek?
Boat Ramp is located on Hwy 365 about halfway between Mayflower and Maumelle Arkansas. Coming From LR on I-40 get off at the Morgan Exit take a left keep your eyes too the right very quickly you will see a big white Building thats says LAKE LIQUOR Bold Letters, after you pass the liquor store the first traffic light you come to take a right this is HWY 365 follow it for about 5 miles untill you come to a bridge. You will know its the bridge you want because it will have a railroad tressle and the Arkansas river within sight on the left. The boat ramp is on the right just before you cross the bridge.
This place is always a good bet just after the water receeds from big rains and starts to stabalize it gets loaded with crappie trying to come up it from the river and fish getting blown out from the Lake Conway dam. Flooded right now LM so dont waste your time coming but when it starts to stableize Look Out it should get hot especially after this warm rain. Get there early as possible to hit the lay downs first and lay it on em. Good Luck CrappiePro
CrappiePro,
Thanks for telling me where to go, LOL!
But mostly, thanks for the pics and reports.... I wouldn't have been out there to catch even those dinks if you hadn't inspired me with your reports!
(I made 5 trips to the Ark River in the Toadsuck area in the previous week and never got a bite- no one else was getting any fish either)
I've bass fished through that stretch bunches of times and always thought it looked good for crappie. One thing to remember--don't leave anything in your truck that you care about at that ramp. Seems like there's always fresh piles of broken glass in the parking lot. I haven't been there in a couple of years, so maybe the law watches it a little better now than they did.
I'm really looking forward to the Dix Creek report. That's probably my favorite part of the lake to fish.
I second that rowdyrabbit. I had a friend whos boat trailer was stolen while he was fishing there. BUMMER. Its gettin like that everywhere. What a shame.
Man it's good to see these great fishin' reports increasing in frequency. That tells me, along with the water's warming, that the time is not far away.
Thanks for sharing with us!
