Arkansas River (Pine Bluff): The Tackle Box (870-534-1498) said the water is at normal levels and clarity. Bream are biting well on redworms. Crappie are biting well on rosy red minnows and jigs. Catfishing is good on nightcrawlers and whole live shad.
River City Sporting Goods (870-534-8303) said the water has a good flow and the water temperature is at 38 degrees. There has been a shad kill and dead shad are all around the banks. Fishing is poor.
Island 40 Chute: Daily’s Boat Dock (870-739-3478) said the water is clear and low. Fishing is slow for all species.
White River : Triangle Sports (870-793-7122) said the water is clear and around 8 feet low. The surface temperature is 37 degrees. Crappie are fair on minnows fished in sloughs and the main river channel. A few walleye are being caught on minnows after dark.
Maddox Bay: Maddox Bay Landing (870-462-8317) said the water is clear and high. The extremely cold weather has everyone off the lake.
Bear Creek Lake: Arkansas Outdoors (870-295-4240) said the water is high and clear. Crappie fishing is good on minnows fished 14 feet deep. All other fishing has been slow.
Horseshoe Lake : Local fisherman Clyde Gregory said the lake is clear and the water level is fairly low. Crappie are fair on minnows. Catfishing is good on minnows.
