Conditions : Beaver Lake: JTs Crappie Guide Service (479-640-3980) said bass have been biting shad- and crawdad-colored medium-diving crankbaits along chunk rock banks. Hula grubs have also produced along docks and under flooded bushes. Crappie fishing has been good. Fish have been suspended 10 to 20 feet deep, close to creek channels. Try fishing tube jigs tipped with a minnow around brush piles and pole timber. White bass have been in the main lake, chasing schools of shad 10- to 30-feet deep. Main-lake points and edges of flats have been a good place to look. Small jigging spoons or ¼-oz. Rat-L-Traps have worked best. Catfishing is good on worms or liver from the bank in the Hickory Creek, Monte-NE and Prairie Creek areas.
