hoglaw Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I always get down in the dumps this time of year...seems like this winter has been the longest ever. We had some nice warm spots in late Jan/early Feb, and December was mild enough. But February has really been kicking my butt. I've managed a couple days at the hot lake but that's it. I look at the long term forecast every day just hoping to see signs of life. Looks like this time next week will be pretty nice. I'm ready for a good long stretch of sunny sixties and maybe a warm rain or two to kick off the spring runs. Maybe someone can show me how to catch walleye other than by accident this year.
Feathers and Fins Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Pssttt I have told you before throw Play clothes in your car and let me know when you want to go play your right on the way to the lake lol. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
Quillback Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 If the forecast is right, next week is looking great.
Guest Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It's going to take longer than usual to warm up the water, unless we get some warm rain. Expect 40 degree water until the end of the month. It seems like, spring break is the unofficial kickoff to fish catching season, for me anyway. In the meantime, I will be working on the boat & gear.
JohnF52 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Once we start seeing 65-70 degree days, the river end will warm quickly. I would expect water temps in 50s in the upper river end by end of March.

JohnF52 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 The far upper White River has good flow from meltwater now, but it is very cold. The forecasted storm should up the flow even more, but still very cold water. Need a quick warmup or warm rain soon.
Members Wildeye Posted March 4, 2015 Members Posted March 4, 2015 I am about 10 days out from coming up to spend a week chasing the stripes, hope we get some steady and warming weather. Last two years it has snowed on my mid march trips.
JohnF52 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 It is snowing heavily now in the upper White River watershed.
Guest Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Snow isn't the only thing, we got a good bit of rain this morning. The white is starting to pick up steam now & should maintain the above average flow as this snow & ice melts over the weekend. http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ar/nwis/uv/?site_no=07048600&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060
