: Greers Ferry: Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 461.92 feet msl, or 0.12 feet below normal pool of 462.04 feet and that could change pretty quick if we get the 7.56 inches of rain that is forecast. Lots of crazy stuff with the fish going on since the total eclipse happened. Crappie seem somewhat confused, as with the other species as well. Try super shallow and out to 30 feet. Use jigs, minnows or crankbaits. Walleye are eating in the main lake, and the few that are left up rivers. Drag a crawler or crankbait 10-22 feet; some walleye are following under big schools of white bass and hybrid bass, so use a spoon for those. Hybrid bass and white bass are trying to get set up in the main lake and set up for the summer. A lot are still traveling, but ones that are set, use spoons, inline spinners, grubs and swimbaits in 15-35 feet. The shad spawn is going on in various places around the lake and rivers; when you find them stay with them for good catches of all species. Catfish are starting to show up more regularly; the usual stuff is working for them in the main lake and rivers. Some bream are shallow but most are still around 8-15 feet. Crickets and crawlers are working fine as well as inline spinners. Some black bass are spawning, more are on their way to spawn and some have finished. Use Carolina rigs, topwater, wake baits, drop-shots, crankbaits and spinnerbaits for the best action there are too many baits that will work right now to mention fishing super super shallow out to 30 feet.

About: -
The 30,000-acre Greers Ferry Lake is known for its clear waters and cliffs that line much of its
shoreline. One easily recognizable geologic feature on the lake is Sugar Loaf Mountain, where a national recreational trail
by the same name climbs the 1,000-foot summit on an uninhabited island (making
it accessible only by boat).
 During warmer months, the fog that hovers
over the cold water in the Little Red can create a striking effect. And visitors
traveling from the south or east will certainly notice a difference as they
enter the regions hilly terrain.
Fishing - Unknown, but impressive, is the fact that two world-record fish, the hybrid striped bass and the walleye, were caught on Greers Ferry Lake, which is the reservoir from which the Little Red River flows. (The hybrid striped bass, caught in 1997, weighed in at 27 pounds, 5 ounces, and the walleye, caught in 82, was 22 pounds, 11 ounces.) But walleye and hybrid striped bass arent the only catches on the fishing menu at Greers Ferry. Every game fish native to the State of Arkansas has been stocked in the clear waters of the lake by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and it is especially revered as an excellent largemouth bass fishery. Camping - On the lake, there are more than 10 campgrounds, dozens of boat ramps and nine marinas, eight of which offer rental boats. |
