[#003e00]Arkansas[/#003e00][/url][#003e00] River:[/#003e00] Charley’s Hidden Harbor near Oppelo said the river flow is 11,000 cubic feet with the headwater at 284.55 and the tailwater at 265.40. White bass fishing is very strong and getting better on jetties using Shad Raps and Sassy Shads. Black bass fishing is very good using buzz baits early and changing to fire tiger-colored crank baits on top of the jetties later in the day. Kentucky bass are running around jetties near drop offs and hitting camo or June bug-colored worms. Catfish are four to 10 feet deep and hitting nightcrawlers early in the day. Bream fishing is strong in the shallow water using crickets. Crappie are being caught in five to 10 feet of water with live minnows. Stripers are being caught on jetty tips using shad floated six to 10 feet deep or with crank baits.
