Looking To Catch Some Sauger

[Quillback]

For the record, the fish in Lake Norwood are Saugeye, not Sauger.

And I don't know if there are enough of them in the lake to make it worthwhile to target them. You also have to be a property owner in Bella Vista to fish the lakes here or fish with a propert owner.

For the record, most people in Bella Vista wouldn't know the difference.

I've caught sauger, not saugeye, in the lower portions of the White River around Clarendon.

They know the difference, do you?

Dude, I was kidding....don't take it serious.

No prob, sometimes it's hard to tell when people are kidding around or not.

It's not a short drive for you, but I've caught several this time of year below Alton Lock and Dam just north of St. Louis on the Mississippi river.

Good suggestion Duane. Also at below the Clarksville there is a boat ramp and the Sauger fishing is great at the opposite side of the river at the inlet swirl there. You need to go to the VFW and pay a small lauching fee to the right of the ramp.

Be sure to not wear a Daniel Boone hat fishing there though because the Eagles are in the trees on both side of the River looking for lazy Pigeons and stunned fish. They might think that had would make a feast for the day.

The Arkansas River is the best river system that contains Sauger in Ar. Just below Murray Lock and Dam, is a very good spot. The other rivers in Arkansas that have them are the Black, White, Current, Eleven Point, and Spring. There are concentrations of them below every dam along the Arkansas river from the Mississippi to Ft. Smith, but there is good bank fishing on both sides of the river below Murray.

Got that info from "Fishing Arkansas" by Keith Sutton.

im not sure about right now but you put sauger and colder water together but over the summer and fall when it was hot out they were excellent at carlyle out by the water pumps in the middle of the lake with a surface temp of 82 degrees on 1/8 grubs in 4-6ft, insane.

last time i looked at the fishing report is was outdated a few months. below the dam is pretty good sometimes.

The whole length of the Arkansas river, Lake Dardenelle.
