: Lake Catherine: Shane Goodner, owner of Catchem All Guide Service, reports that water temperature below Carpenter Dam is 59 degrees with good clarity from the dam to the bridge. The winter drawdown is underway until Nov. 22. Flood gates have been open to bring Lake Ouachita out of flood pool. Rainbow trout season has begun and fish are being caught in the main channels. Rooster Tails in white or brown in 1/8- and 1/16-ounce sizes cast around visible structure will produce strikes from trout that are feeding on threadfin shad. Nightcrawlers and redworms fished just off the bottom are working well as bank fishermen have caught most of the fish last week. Wax worms and meal worms are other good baits for trout. Boaters casting Super Dupers in sliver or gold have caught limits of trout. Fly-fishermen have taken some quality rainbows in the shoal areas with olive or black colored woolly buggers. Micro jigs in white and grey fished under a strike indicator offer feeding trout a perfect imitation of an injured threadfin shad. Hybrid activity is on the rise and has been observed on a daily basis. Top-water action can be fast in the mornings and late evenings. Zara Spooks in shad colors and Tiny Torpedoes in black have been the baits of choice. Large stripers will move into the area as the trout stocking program intensifies later this month. Walleye in the 2- to 3-pound range are being caught in the main channel during periods of generation on small shad-colored crankbaits. Fishermen using Carolina rigs with live minnows have taken the largest walleye as these fish prefer live bait. Reported by: Arkansas F&G |

| About: -
Lake Catherine was created in a virtual wilderness between Hot Springs and Malvern.
Eleven miles long, the lake covers a mere 1,940 acres, nestled in
narrow valleys of the Ouachita Mountains. Fishing: Anglers come to the lake for its largemouth bass, spotted bass and striped bass, crappie, bream, and catfish and walleye fishing. A rainbow trout fishery, stocked by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, exists in the lake's tailwaters below Remmel Dam. Lake Catherine State Park offers 17 fully-equipped cabins with kitchens, 70 campsites, a marina selling bait and fuel in summer and renting boats throughout the year, a launch ramp, a swimming area, picnic sites, playgrounds and hiking trails. |
