Beaver Lake
Jon Conklin, fishing guide, said colder water has improved fishing for a variety of species.
Striped bass fishing is good with lots of 20-pounders being caught. Try the Prairie Creek area, Arkansas 12 bridge area and waters south of there. Trolling brood minnows or shad is the best way to catch stripers. Conklin said many of his recent clients have caught their first striper.
Fishing has improved for crappie, Conklin said. Fish around brush with jigs or minnows 17 feet deep or shallower. Cover lots of brush. Some brush will have schools of crappie and others won't. A jig with a black body and chartreuse tail is a good color. Use crank baits of jerk baits for black bass along points or shorelines with a mix of gravel and rock. Average surface water temperature is in the low to mid-50s.
Southtown Sporting Goods in Fayetteville suggests trying for crappie with minnows or jigs around bush seven to 20 feet deep. Striped bass are migrating toward the south end of the lake. Try trolling crank baits, brood minnows or shad.
