: Lake Conway: Bates Field and Stream (501-470-1846) said fishing was about a carbon copy of what its been lately. The lake was muddy Thursday after the rain, and it slowed the bite down a bit, but crappie are still being caught around the Highway 89 bridge and at Gold Creek. It seems like theyve been doing better on minnows the last few days. Though the rain slowed it up some, it should pick right back up, they report. Catfish continue biting well on night crawlers, and last week they were going after liver and shad. The Highway 89 bridge area seems to be the hot spot. Bass are biting well on crankbaits. Soft plastic crawdads have also worked well lately. Anglers continue catching lots of bream. The bluegills really picked back up the last few days, and in pretty good size. Use redworms and waxworms.
