Greers Ferry - Freshwater Fishing Report
Little Red River
Lindsey's Resort (501-302-3139) said the water is clear and low; one generator is running about 2 p.m. Trout are good; try wax worms, Power Bait and marshmallows, or Carolina rigs or spinners. For fly anglers, go with sowbugs, Extra Krispies or an Adams dry fly.
Greers Ferry Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake's elevation at 458 feet msl (normal conservation pool – 461 msl).
Tommy Cauley of Fish Finder Guide Service said the water temperature was cool for this time of year at 78-81 degrees. Black bass are relating to brushpiles, shallow wood and on summertime drops; some are suspended. Use the Arkansas Claw for the suspended fish, Texas-rigged worms for the drop fish, as well as jigs. For shallow wood fish, use jigs and spinner baits, and on the in-between fish, use jighead worms and drop-shots. Bream fishing is good using crickets and night crawlers, shallow-running crank baits, as well as in-line spinners. The walleye bite is better now; fish night crawlers on jigheads in 15-35 feet of water. The catfish bite is great all over the lake. Crappie are eating jigs tipped with minnows. Hybrids and white bass are eating swim baits, the Arkansas Claw, in-line spinners and spoons fished from 25-40 feet of water
