How High Will She Go?

[Quillback]

Only a 1/4" here in Bella Vista.

Six tenths in W. Fayetteville, but looked like more further south and into the white river watershed.

Looks like the lake has come up a few more inches. More rain forecasted for Sunday. Dunno how much.

[Feathers and Fins]

Love it. Saturday should be a great morning for fishing.

[Quillback]

Yep, I might head up to the Indian creek arm Saturday.

I think we have just about reached the top for the year with increased generation and the storms acting more like summer storms passing through quickly. I think we can call this in about anther week. The temps look to be rising next week so that will increase the rate of evaporation also.

Just as soon as I make that prediction we will get a 10in rain.......lol

Curious....

Why there vs. up river near Hickory? (fishing wise)

I know there will be floating debris to deal with there vs. Indian but.....I heard the bite was stronger up river with a shallow water bite.

If I had to give a top 10 picks for Saturday it would be as follows

1. 12 bridge for whites

2. Islands at 12 bridge for crappie and walleye

3. Beaver Shores for walleye and whites

4. Coppermine for whites and bass

5. Montne for Bass and Crappie

6. Hickory for a mix of fish

7. Rocky Branch for Walleye and Crappie with possible large hybrids

8 Lost Bridge South for Stripers

9 Fords Creek crappie and bass

10 Indian creek for Bass and Stripers.

Why don't you just draw a road map and provide GPS points too! :-) The "lurkers" here just love you. LOL!

Well I've got several reasons. not many wake boats or other floating annoyances, not as much development on the shores, much more scenic than the lower lake. For me sometimes it is not about the number of fish in the boat, but the overall experience. Hickory and PC are crazy on summer Saturdays.

The fishing can be pretty darn good also.
