Craig D. Campbell Lake Conway Reservoir
(updated 12-16-2021) Bates Field and Stream (501-470-1846) said the lake has the normal stain and the lake level is normal. No surface temperature was recorded. Bream are still good. Anglers are mainly going with redworms, but crickets will work. Crappie slipped back to good this week. Minnows are working. Also, try jigs in white and chartreuse, or Monkey Milk with blue or purple. Black bass are good. Swimbaits, spinnerbaits and any baitfish seem to be working. Catfishing is good on trotlines and pole fishing with stink bait, nightcrawlers, dough bait and large trotline minnows.

(updated 12-16-2021) Hatchet Jacks Sports Shop in Crystal Hill off I-40 (758-4958) says that fishing for crappie is good at Gold Creek as well as around Wilhelmina Cove.

Little Red River
(updated 12-16-2021) Lowell Myers of Sore Lipem All Guide Service (501-230-0730) said they are seeing sporadic generation from the Greers Ferry Dam, creating low water conditions most days on the Little Red. This provides good wading conditions on all sections of the river. Midges, pheasant tails, hares ear and Woolly Buggers are recommended for fly-fishing. For Trout Magnet fishing, use ink and white-colored bodies on chartreuse or gold jigheads. Always check before heading to the Little Red River by calling the Corps of Engineers Little Rock District water data system (501-362-5150) for Greers Ferry Dam water release information or check the Corps of Engineers website (swl-wc.usace.army.mil) for real-time water release and the Southwestern Power Administration website (swpa.gov) to see forecasted generation schedule.

(updated 12-16-2021) Fish N Stuff (501-834-5733) in Sherwood said trout are good on jerkbaits and Rooster Tails.

Greers Ferry Lake
As of Thursday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lakes elevation at 455.44 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 462.04 feet msl, top flood elevation 487.0 msl).

(updated 12-16-2021) Fish N Stuff (501-834-5733) in Sherwood said bass are good on floater spoons and Silver Buddies.

(updated 12-16-2021) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) said the water level at Greers Ferry lake is at 455.40 feet msl and falling pretty slowly. It is 6.64 feet below normal pool of 462.04 feet msl for this time of year. We are in winter patterns, for sure, Tommy said. The bite is good and gets better every day until super cold. The weather we are having is ideal for catching on any highland reservoir in the country.

Catfish are eating, just not a lot of anglers trying to catch them this time of year (but you should be, Tommy notes). Crappie are being caught as shallow as 10 feet down to 50 feet; various ways working. Not much to …….
