Beaver Lake Popular Report 2025_SL.pdf - Google Drive Some interesting info: Growth rate of the Largemouth Bass population is similar compared to the last growth study in 2018. We observed a large fraction of fish within the 14-16 inch range, indicating a good number of quality fish. The number of sub-legal Striped Bass is currently very high as a result of increased stocking in 2023 and 2024. Despite this increase, growth rates of 1, 2, and 3-year-old Striped Bass is similar compared to previous years. Sampling of sub- legal Striped Bass will be used to inform annual stocking rates.

I would like to make it down there some day myself. Hire a guide for a couple of days and fish for bass.

Walleye have some design flaws- they are tasty and easy to fillet. I have never seen so much pressure on them on Table Rock as I have seen this year.

LOL, yeah I have been known to travel 40 miles to fish.

I've told this one to a couple of DR's. A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.

Nice ones!

Little Sugar creek which runs through Bella Vista is up and a very ugly brown. Not quite out of its banks however.

Nice ones!

I'm all for thinning those things out.

Nice, fat, and healthy bass!

It will be Friday and Saturday April 24-25. This link will have a map and what is for sale at each location. Map is not uploaded yet. If you are a garage sale fan, this is a good one to visit. bellavista

Last winter when I was fishing with Dutch down the James channel a ways there were hundreds of cormorants in one area.

Sorry to hear that Ollie.

Yes thanks, have a buddy that lives in Neosho that wants to go, but it will have to wait until all this rain is gone. He drove past Twin Bridges the other day and said it looked like 50 rigs parked at the ramp. Popular fishery to say the least.

White catfish maybe? Connecticut 10-year-old's ice fishing catch sparks national debate amid potential state record

Came down pretty hard here last night, off and on. Woke me up at 3 AM which I did not appreciate.

Yep, one of the few benefits of getting old.

Might be one of those F2 hybrids. Huge largemouth bass from Nickajack Lake, potential new Tennessee state record

Could be a drought buster.

From the pics I have seen of that lake, it looks like a solid crappie lake.

I poked around deep for a bit, there were shad down there. I'm just not in to spending much time fishing deep unless there is a bunch of fish on the screen.

Man, I'd like to fish it for the redears. Might be overlooked.

I watch the Royals and having lived in Massachusetts and Washington I also keep an eye on the Red Sox and Mariners. Missouri side of my family were Cards fans, they'd drive up to St. Louis from Kennett once a year to take in a game. KC should do well this year and have a shot at the playoffs. They have an overabundance of starting pitching. They are in a competitive division, Detroit looks to have put together a decent team.

Had a good bite for about 45 minutes this morning and then it became the Dead Sea. Cove full of shad, they were chasing them early and then just stopped. I caught a 12 lb. striper, 4 bass, 3 were keepers, before it was over. Fished a few places, got nothing, so packed it in at 9 AM. I kept the striper. You can see how fat it is, combination of eggs and a bellyful of 2 inch shad. 3.3 Keitech on a 1/4 oz head. Air was filled with smoke this morning from Garfield all the way to the lake. Must be some controlled burns going on. WT 49
