zarraspook Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 If it doesn't totally flood; it will be a multi-million dollar event for the area farmers..... "Look up OPTIMIST in the dictionary - there is a picture of a fishing boat being launched"
Jerry Rapp Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 sounds like another good year for the fry to survive.
bfishn Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Good for the bass and crappie, no help for the walleye or whites that didn't spawn this year. I can't dance like I used to.
Stump bumper Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I saw on the news last night the predicted rainfall over Benton County was .3 inches and the vast majority of the rain was going to be south of Beaver Lake. If that happens it will still increase runoff into Beaver, but I don't think it will be a washout this far North. But then again who believes weather men, could be 5in....lol The lake could use 2 or 3 feet more right now to get up for summer generation so hope we do get a couple of inches, it has been a dry spring.
JohnF52 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 The upper white above Sequoyah is muddy and nearly bank full. Should muddy up the lake all the way to War Eagle, eventually.
JohnF52 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Where to go now since the upper white and tributaries are muddy? Nine times out of 10 I have fished the upper end above 412 Bridge.
