Beaver Lake Master Plane Revision

[crkoester]

AGFC will never stock trout in Beaver due to well publicized failures doing so at Bull Shoals and Greers Ferry many moons ago. Once the Greers Ferry trout stocking ended up resulting in both the all-tackle walleye and hybrid records, AGFC got a clue what was happening to all those trout...

#1 would make life a lot safer at the lake

#2 Im kinda puzzled by this one

#3 this would be nice, it certainly needs an upgrade, #5 kinda fits the same category

#4 I totally agree, trout could survive right now. Lol

#2 I just do not want to see Beaver Lake looking like so many other lakes where its shorelines are filled with docks, I get people who live on the lake want docks But I would rather see 1 or 2 docks for a community than 10 o 20 single slip docks littering the shoreline. Docks detract from the Natural Beauty of the lake and there is many docks that look like trash cans imo.

I see no issue with feeding game fish with nasty tasting trout. Yes I said it. Nasty tasting. Lol!!

Hope you don't mind if I toss out my $.02 worth here...

I'd like to see a 'north shore' public access boat ramp in the Avoca-Coose Hollow area. This productive arm of the lake is served by Prairie Creek Marina (normally overcrowded, and 'south shore'...so if you live north of the lake it's a trip thru Rogers to get there), Hwy 12 bridge access (similar cons to PCM, though not as crowded), or Ventris Access...(remote, poor road, and a substantial drive east ...but the ONLY access 'till Lost Bridge South Park for those on the north side of the lake, ...am I'm correct?

I think that evenly/conveniently-distributed/easier public access points on the lake could help to reduce some of the single dock issue (re: F&F's #2) concerns.

I certainly agree with F&F's point number 1!!! When the water level is down and ya motor over water that ya 'thought' ya knew, and see all those stumps/pole timber...and then think about those things just under the surface when the water is higher for all of the skiers and jet skiers...it's amazing that more folks aren't seriously injured.

Monte Ne seems that it could become an area that could feed on some of it's old history, and build some new. The area 'lays' nicely, and could be a great family use area, though I've not fished it much...yet.

.Where DO ya bank fish on Beaver Lake?? And where do panfish go during the winter?

Thank you all for the bunches of information,... and humor, that you share on this site!!

This is what I was thinking about talking to ACE about at the meeting.

I attended the Master Plan Revision session today. The Corps reps were knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to fill out a suggestion sheet. I asked about Monte Ne. They said that area is leased to Benton County, so any improvements cannot be done by the Corps. I gather they are planning to put in a few more ramps in areas not currently covered. No parks, only ramps with a solar powered area light like they have installed on Bull Shoals.
