Spring River Walleyes?

[LittleRedFisherman]

My offseason has started, so that means despite the cold, I crank up on fishing. I have heard for years about the Walleye that is in the Spring. I"ve fished for them in the Current River in Arkansas before, but was wondering about fishing in the Spring River for them. I've always heard you can find them below the falls? I have a place in the Hardy area, so that is probably where I will consentrate on fishing for them.

They are there. Fish for them just like you would on the Current River, minus the jet boat. I usually have a couple per season as collateral damage from trolling for trout. I have not caught anything nice.

About 8 to 10 years ago, there's a couple guys there locally that produces a show on Channell 8 called Ozark Outdoors, now they call it Arkansas Outlaws. Anyhow, ole Crowbar was just standing on top of the fall fishing below it, and was catching him some monster walleye. I remember the show, but they never showed it again, maybe didn't want to give up there secret, I'm pretty sure the falls they were fishing where the one up from the Bridge at Hardy. I forgot what bait they where using, but it worked and they were nice fish. May have been just a seasonal thing where you catch them just right.

On current river, I usally jig holes and deep bend with a heavy curly tail tube jig, and also anchor in some of the better holes and still fish with creek Chubs.
