Members parsonsles87 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Members Posted March 1, 2015 I think with them being able to freely move up the river that it's just a matter of time before schools of small ones start staying in the river. It has been a couple years since I floated this river so I don't know how big the quiet pools are anymore but I think it's logical to assume that they could reproduce with the rite conditions
Members parsonsles87 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Members Posted March 1, 2015 There are some pretty good sized pools in the Arkansas river and they have no problem reproducing in all stretches of that river. I think the main thing is no obstructions for a certain distance
fishinwrench Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Gotta have males AND females to successfully reproduce. If both make the run up and find each other it will surely happen. With hatchery reared fish it is possible to get way more of one sex (or so I've heard) and that would kinda mess up early attempts at natural reproduction.
Members parsonsles87 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Members Posted March 3, 2015 its going to be interesting to see what all the fish do this spring with them having full access to the river. id almost bet that we will all be suprised how far up some fish will go. on another note is there anyone here that could post or pm me when the stripers do show up at tecumpseh and dawt? my wife isnt a huge fan of my fishing so time is limited for me. i have made trips in previous years but its usually an hour drive in vain. managed to hook probably a 30 lb plus fish last year i know it was that big cuz it hit my fluke about ten ft off the bank and i saw ir clear as day but it spit the hook after about five seconds and thats the closest ive ever come to catching a striper over five lbs
vonreed Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I don't see how it would change anything to do with the spawn because Bryant creek also flows into Norfork and it is a pretty good sized river. But I'm sure they will swim way up and make the fishing more interesting until they migrate back to the lake.
fishinwrench Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Just hit it after the Spring floods have fallen out. If you wait for someone to start posting pics.... you'll be a little late.
Members parsonsles87 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Members Posted March 3, 2015 story of my life. seems like im a week early or a week late every year. it dont help that my wife hates my fishing. i pull an all nighter bout two or three times a year and i always get threatened with divorce.
Members parsonsles87 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Members Posted March 3, 2015 which is lookin better and better the closer it gets to spring lol. just kidding honey dnt kill me.
fishinwrench Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Do you reckon she hates it so much because it just tears at her heart to be away from you, or because she doesn't trust you alone with your wallet? IOW...Is she afraid that you won't ever come back, or that you'll come home broke with maxed out credit cards? Oh, and she can spell/read OK, right? You are chasing stripers, not strippers!
Members parsonsles87 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Members Posted March 4, 2015 no ive never been one to chase many strippers lol. heck when my buddies un school were skippin class to drink or smoke and chase girls i skipped class and went to the woods or creek. to be honest i dont know why she hates it so much. i have stayed gone all night and not called but i always come home and when i do im always dirty and smell like fish.
