: DeGray Lake: Local angler George Graves said the surface temperature is in the low to mid 60s and the water is clear throughout the lake. Fishing is improving because the water is receding and clearing. Once the water gets near normal pool, the fishing should really improve. Crappie fishing is good with several good catches being reported. The best catches are coming from fish shelters/brush piles. Look for the shelters in 25 to 30 feet of water. The crappies will be suspended from 15 to 20 feet down directly over the cover. You can see the fish on a fine-tuned sonar. Drop a 2-inch grub on a 1/16-ounce jig head down to the fish. Very little or no jigging is required, just move slowly around the cover. Tennessee shad is the best color with chartreuse/black a good second choice. The best areas are between Caddo Drive and Goat Island (Island 38). Most major creeks in this area have good shelters. Bass fishing is fair with quite a few Kentuckies showing up. Fish the first drop off steep banks with a Texas-rigged worm or jig down the drop-off. Try water 10 to 25 feet deep. Try main lake and secondary creek points from Arlie Moore to Point Cedar. Bream fishing is fair around brush. Quite a few big bluegills are showing up next to fish attractors and are positioned about 20 feet down. Drop a redworm or cricket just above the fish. Hybrids are still scattered and almost impossible to make bite. Reported by: Arkansas F&G |

The 13,400-acrea DeGray Lake is a prime vacation and weekend getaway in
west-central Arkansas. Situated among ridges of the Ouachita Mountains and
