Man jailed twice in 1 day May 3, 2017, was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for Michael Eugene Cowan. The 41-year-old Scotland man was picked up that day on a failure to appear warrant. He had been charged April 14 by Clinton Police with driving on a suspended license. He also
was charged Feb. 14, 2017, with failure to maintain control of a vehicle. Cowan was booked into the Van Buren County Detention Center at 8:47 a.m. May 3, 2017, according to records. He was released on a $435 bond at 9:05 a.m. the same day. Less than 12
Resident loses money in scam A Van Buren County resident reported May 2 to the sheriff’s office that he had been scammed out of $16,000 from a traveling paving company. The name of the company is Road Builders, owned or managed by W.J Boswell, according to the sheriff’s office. The resident reported that Boswell was driving a vehicle with its flashing light on and came onto his property. The man told the victim that had just finished a paving project for the highway department and he had some leftover blacktop he could sell him for $10 a yard, according to the sheriff’s office. The resident said he agreed and the man came in with his crew, a dump truck and other equipment that all looked brand new. The victim reported the man’s crew
put down the blacktop and them told him the price would be $7,000, which the resident thought was high, according to the sheriff’s office. The resident reported that Boswell told him he could do the whole area for $16,000, but he would need a check right now so he could go to Leslie and put it in the bank, according to the sheriff’s office. The resident said he gave Boswell a check for $1,600 and Boswell left, leaving his crew there, according to the report. The resident said after a long period of time the crew left and he tried unsuccessfully to get in touch with Boswell because the job was not finished. He said he has discovered that Indiana State Police are looking for the man as well, according to the sheriff’s office.
hours later, he was back in jail, this time charged with public intoxication. He was booked into the detention center at 8:09 p.m. May 3. He was released on bond again, this time $287, at 10:13 a.m. May 4. He is next due in court on May 25 for plea and arraignment.

U.S. Highway 65 was the location of several wrecks in Clinton last month. Those accidents include a two-vehicle accident about 9:20 a.m. Sunday, April 30, when a 2009 Chevrolet Impala struck a vehicle while making a turn. Betty Thompson, 73, of Clinton said she did not see a 2015 Jeep Wrangler when she was trying to make a left turn at Highway 65 and 330 East, according to a police report. The Jeep was driven by Scott Randall Woodall, 48, of Beebe. Thompson and a passenger were taken by private vehicle to the hospital where they were treated and released. Less than four hours later, police responded to a second accident in front of KFC. James Lee Hice, 79, of Bee Branch was trying to make a left turn out of the restaurant about 1 p.m. when his 2010 Chevrolet Silverado struck a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Rodney Cameron Beene, 40, of Arkadelphia. Beene was driving in the outside southbound lane and told police he went up on the sidewalk trying to avoid the Silverado. Hice told police he just didn’t see the Tahoe and he knew the wreck was his fault. No one was injured.
On Monday, April 24, around noon a 1997 Ford Mustang slammed into the rear of a 2011 International truck, according to a police report. Truck driver Kevin R. Rivers Jr. of Rogers told police an RV heading north in front of him stopped suddenly to turn left into a gasoline station and he slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting him. Brittany Nicole Maxwell, 25, of Clinton told police she wasn’t paying attention and her Mustang slammed into the truck. Maxwell was taken by ambulance to Ozark Health Medical Center. Maxwell has been cited for following too close, no proof of insurance and fictitious tags. Earlier in April, a Willow Springs, Missouri, man was cited after a two-vehicle accident in front of Payton Dodge. Rebecca Leann McKinney, 19, of Clinton was traveling south about 3:15 p.m. April 10 when she tried to make a left turn into the car dealership. Her 2002 Chevrolet Silverado was struck by a 2016 Dodge Ram driven by Kurgon Bryan Dal, 36, according to police. Dal told police someone ran the stop sign on Old Highway 9 and he had to swerve, hitting McKinney’s truck. He was cited for following too close.
Local legend, Sue Kidd Hall of Fame pitcher from Choctaw dies A local legend has died. Glenna Sue Kidd, 83, of Choctaw passed away Thursday, May 4, 2017. Kidd played professional baseball in the All-American League as well as playing basketball with the South Bend Usherettes. Kidd’s main claim to fame as a professional came July 4, 1953, when she won both ends of a double-header for the South Bend Blue Sox pitching against the Grand Rapids Chicks before a crowd 5,000. Locally, Kidd is remembered by many old-timers as the girl who could play ball with – and beat – the boys from an early age. She also is remembered for pitching a lo-
cal team, coached by her father Marvin, to victory over an all-male Heber Springs team. Kidd played baseball professionally for the Battle Creek Belles, the Muskegon Lassies, Peoria Redwings, South Bend Blue Sox, and the Springfield Sallies. She played first base, as well as pitched. In her final season, playing with the Blue Sox, the right-hander batted .238. She was a member of the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and appeared in the movie 1992 “A League of Their Own.” Kidd also was a teacher and a coach for many years. Read her full obituary on Page 4.

Editor’s note: County Extension Agent Torrie Caston shares the letter she wrote to EH Club members on the occasion of the clubs’ 100th anniversary.
EH Clubs still going strong Van Buren County EHC was started in 1917. It was first called Home Demonstration Clubs. In the early days the clubs’ focus was raising a family, making a house into a home, and being pillars in their communities; 100 years later that still remains true. Since its start, it has gone through many name changes to finally be known today as the Extension Homemakers Club. EHC has remained a stronghold in each community, and the women and men in these clubs have been distinguished members of society. I am honored to be able to work with these women and men and am proud of the work they do. Putting up signs of people’s names on the end of their roads to make it easier in emergencies, knitting caps every year, raising money for different organizations, making dolls for children at the hospitals, and collecting soda tabs for the Ronald McDonald House are just a few of the countless selfless acts these ladies and gentlemen do for their clubs, communities, state, and world. The world is a tru-
ly better place with the Extension Homemakers Club in it. There is one club in the county that has been around the full 100 years, Formosa EHC. Alread, Chimes, Davis Special, Damascus, Highway 110 and Clinton are the other clubs in Van Buren County that have developed in the last 100 years. Each club is unique, made up with very special individuals who are working to make their communities shine brighter. If everyone lived out the last phrase of the EHC Collect, as the VBC EHC members do, we could leave each place better than we found it: “Grant that we realize it is The little things that create big differences. That in big things in life we are as one, And may we strive to touch and to know, The great; common human heart of us all; And, oh Lord, let us not forget to be kind.” Yes, let us not forget to be kind. Thank you for a wonderful 100 years, Van Buren County Extension Homemakers Council.

Happy Mother’s Day Mother
If love can be impressed on paper, you will feel the gentle touch of your daughter’s skill in composing poetry at a random will. I resemble you, Mother, in more than one way I hear this often, and just today I gave God the glory and began to pray. I am thankful to know that I have your looks And the Bible you valued more than any other books. I learned the culinary art from the best of cooks. So now, dear Mother, when I reflect upon my past, I want you to know you gave me something to last and that your influence on me has been very vast. Loreda L. Ellis

theme? They were all women. This would have not been possible a hundred years ago. Women who worked outside of the home were seen as outliers, anomalies, different from the norm. The cataclysmic changes that took place in the 20th century catapulted this league of women into the workforce. This tidal wave could not have been better represented by this year’s film “Hidden Figures,” which showcases the grace and dignity those women of color displayed when they broke ground to become the scientists, engineers, and computer specialists at NASA during the early days of the space program. I’d like to think that I come from such stock. My mater-
nal grandmother singlehandedly raised six children on a farm during the Depression and both world wars, when my grandfather became ill. My mother completed her Red Cross nurses training before she was old enough to take the state board exams. When she did, she was sent across the country as a nurse with the U.S. Army. My sister also trained as a nurse, but has had a unique 30-year career as a world class explorer and kayaker. My two daughters chose college educations that fit their interests, and are happiest sharing that motivation with my four grandchildren. We lead by example. Grace, dignity and education … Happy Mother’s Day.

Welcome sunshine. It was a beautiful day for the Van Buren County Aging Program’s Car Show fundraiser and the turnout was good. Several people could not get out this week to eat at the centers. Too much rain! Maybe this week will be better. The meals were pretty good last week. Try going to the different centers. It is always good to try change. Weekly pool winners at Clinton were Bill Roberson and Bill Bonds. These guys are very competitive and proud. There is exercise equipment at most of the centers. Get on some of those machines and get your body moving. You may be able to get rid of some of those aches and pains. Have a good week. Call somebody you haven’t heard

Well, the rain is finally slowing down and we should have a few days of sunshine before our next rain. Sam Black said he still can not get into his garden so he thinks he should maybe start a rice farm. That may not be a bad idea. We had a good crowd for our First Saturday Breakfast and I saw a lot of cars at the Senior Center so their day seems to be a success. We are going to have to have a new roof on the gym so we are going to start our fundraising on May 13 with a Soup, Salad and Chili potluck (of course, dessert). Price is $6 and we start to eat at 6 p.m. We hope we can count on a lot of support. The gym is large and it will take a lot of cash to replace the roof. Every time the wind or rain comes, we lose more shingles and then we get it patched and right away we get more wind and rain. So this is past time to get on the project. I think finals are
over and I know the kids are ready for graduations and for school to be out. It is hard to believe this school year went by so soon. Donald Ramsey made it home again. He has lots of plans to try new things while he is here. Good luck Donald. We hope everyone has a safe week and if you have Scotland news call 5923935 and James Burns will see that it gets into the paper.

Evelyn Allen of Chesterton, Indiana, visited her mother, Joyce Nicholson, recently. They went to Branson for the week. Joyce said they went to every show they could work in. That sounds like fun! It was a first trip to Branson for both of them, so they enjoyed it very much. They both want to go back. Renae Tobin has recuperated from her surgery and went back to work.
My bowling team, Glenda and Ariel Collins, Ashley Anderson, Glenda Morin and myself went to Springdale last Friday to participate in the Arkansas State Women’s Bowling tournament. Most everyone bowled good except for me. I think everyone but me might get some prize money. I’m hoping so anyway. We left early on Friday and got there before the storms hit, but it caught up with us on Friday night and Saturday both. Both nights the storms just parked on top of the motel and let us have it. It got kind of scary, I did some praying as did the rest of us, I imagine. It rained so hard on Saturday, all the roads were flooding. We survived and made it back home, so we give thanks for that! Happy Birthday wishes go out to RG and Scott Ward on the 3rd and 4th. That was quite a birthday present for RG! Marva and RG went to grandson Landon Ward’s school play on Thursday. I know they enjoyed that. I talked to Ruth Webb, she is recuperating from her sinus problems and she and B.E. are both
doing better and got a good report from the doctor. Happy Birthday to B.E. on May 5, He will be 92. Hope it was a good day. Joyce and Justine James spent last week in Bentonville. Justine was chosen to participate in a production of Inclusion Films. Teams of students wrote and produced a five-minute film. Joey Travolta, brother of John Travolta, founded the Inclusion Films Camp for students. He was there to work with the kids. Barry Pearl, who starred in “Grease,” directed Justine’s team. She had a part in the film and she enjoyed the whole week. Hello to my Aunt Adrian Burger in Kokomo, Indiana. Hope the storms stay away from you. Hope everyone has a great week of sunshine! I am sick of the rain, maybe my garden will dry out enough so I can plant some more. Have a good week and God bless.

Old timers call it "Blackberry Winter" and say when the blooms go away warm weather is here to stay. The cooler temperatures have slowed the germination of my warm weather vegetable seeds. But cool weather crops are producing bountifully (thanks to all the rain) as is my grass, which is in need of yet another mowing. The weather around here seems like a rollercoaster ride at times. "Blooms of Note" going on now include: yellow honeysuckle, magnolia, yellow sedum, swamp milkweed, Shasta daisy, coreopsis, Mexican primrose, and ornamental alliums (onion family).

With all this rain we have had, Oyler Road has been washed out. There are some deep potholes that could possibly damage your vehicle if you aren’t careful. I know my neighbors and I will be grateful when it finally gets graded. The Highway 110 Volunteer Fire Department have monthly meetings the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. Everyone is invited to come to these meetings and get involved. Our oldest son Shane participated in his first Spring Musical at school this week. All the kids did a great job singing and telling cute little jokes for the audience. Brenda Passmore has had a big king snake hanging around her flowerbed. It is a good reminder to us to be careful and keep our eyes open.

The
Entertainment
Music Scene
Nate Rolen is a good friend of mine and local talent who resides in Shirley, Arkansas. Nate was born in Marshall, but was raised in the Van Buren County area. He sings and plays both bass and acoustic rhythm guitars. Nate has recorded a very thought-provoking and real-life CD entitled "Shake Hands With a Soldier." He just recently performed that title song at Khalil's club in Little Rock (a song-writers’ venue that showcases original material). All of the songs on Nate's CD are originals and they are a collage of life stories and experiences. When you listen to his songs, you will find yourself relating to where he's coming from. It's just down-toearth lyrics, memorable melodies, and a voice that is reminiscent of country singers like Brad Paisley and Merle Haggard; but Nate has his own easy-going style. His story of wartime and the price that is paid by soldiers who often have to fight hand to hand to help safeguard our freedoms will cause a renewed respect for those in uniform with his song "Shake Hands with a Soldier." Later, Nate gets real about what really matters in life in his song, "I Know What Wealth Is." This song will grab your heart and won't let
Jeff Stansbery
go. I highly recommend this CD, which was recorded at Blue Chair Studios in Austin, Arkansas. The quality is as professional as it gets and the songs are relative to everyday life situations. In his own words, Nate gives a little background of his life here in Arkansas and his music interests: Nate: I began playing guitar at about age 6, playing bass guitar by age 9, and a variety of other stringed instruments in the years that followed. I also sing and have been writing songs for about five years, with close to 100 finished songs to date. I'm currently just playing fill-in positions for bands and various artists, because I've had some health issues that have slowed me down a little bit, but I'm still writing some. Question: What music genre do you classify your music? Nate: It would be difficult to attach myself to one particular genre or style. Even though I lean more towards performing country music, my songwriting is all over the place. It just depends on the mood I'm in when a song idea enters my head. Question: Could you give a little background about your past and music interest? Nate: As a boy growing up in Van Buren County, there weren't a lot of things
BULL & FEMALE SALE
to do besides work, so music was what we did for entertainment. My mother's side of the family was very musically talented, so much of my interest came from there. Late evening porch picking, or weekly singing was our form of entertainment. My mother was a devout Christian who made sure her children were in church from the time we were born so that's where I began playing music, at a very young age, most of which was gospel or old classic country. As I grew older, I dabbled with different bands and styles along the way. My music naturally evolved with various stages of life. Again, it's hard to tie myself to any particular genre. Music was a way to escape boredom as a kid. Growing up in a family of six kids, we were poor, so there wasn't a lot of things to do to hold your interest like there are for kids today. As I grew older, I found music to be a great friend. At very low points throughout my life, I often found great comfort in picking up an old guitar and simply playing an old melody, or even just playing a riff over and over offered a calming effect. Question: What is the driving force behind your music?
Nate: Music has been such a part of my life from such an early age, that it's just who I am. There have been times that I have become "burned out," but at some point, I have always returned to music. I just can't imagine my life without it. In recent years, writing has become a form of therapy for me. I found that things or feelings that I couldn't find myself discussing with others, I could bring to surface on paper, or in story mode. It has been extremely therapeutic for me. Question: Could you shed a little light on your past – education and work history? Nate: I grew up like most I guess, wishing I would grow up a whole lot faster – and now, wishing I could slow the process down, ha ha. I had no interest in school, but I graduated high school because my folks would have killed me otherwise. The first time I saw a big shiny truck with smoke coming from the stacks and the sounds of it going through the gears, I was hooked. It absolutely consumed me as a kid. When I became old enough, that was what I did for a major part of my adult life. Sitting here where I am

“Every gambler has his luck, every knockdown I get up. This time I’m all out of blue.” I keep hearing this song called “Out of Blue” on a commercial for Arkansas tourism, so I decided to track it down. It’s by the Greg Spradlin Outfit, a band made up mostly of Arkansans. I would describe “Out of Blue”
ue, "Lord willing"... some medical problems have slowed me down a bit, but I guess I'll just continue taking it one day at a time. I would, however, love to have my songs picked up by an artist, where I could make a living writing music. If that time comes, great! If not, I'm just going to enjoy the journey. Question: Could you detail a bit of info. regarding your music past and most recent project? Nate: I have a CD that came out in 2014 with 10 of my original songs on it, titled "Shake Hands With a Soldier." That is an accomplishment I'm very proud of. I have been blessed with working on other projects in the past as well. One of my favorites was with a group called Red River Bluegrass. I really enjoyed the fellowship in playing and making a CD with that group of guys. There have been a multitude of bands I have enjoyed playing with over the years. I've made some great friends and met some really great people. With that being said, it's been a bumpy, dusty road, but I continue to enjoy the scenery. If interested in purchasing Nate's CD "Shake Hands With a Soldier" ($10.00) you can send an e-mail to: deric34@yahoo.com I think you will be delighted with the CD; and you will realize what talent there is in our own back yard.
as country blues, and I like it and Spradlin’s voice, too. The song is from their 2003 album “… twiced as gone,” which has a couple of other songs, most notably “Push Me Down,” that sound pretty good. Their website describes their sound as a “ t u r b o - c h a rg e d , gritty, lo-fi visit to the Southern Gothic universe.” Whatever that means.

now, with a wornout body ... yeah, I would change some things, but when anyone is asked the same question, who wouldn't? I have made my share of mistakes, trusted the wrong people, made some wrong choices, but life doesn't come with an instruction label, so you make the best of it. The bumps, bruises, scratches and scars make us who we are in life. After 50 years, I'm finally content with my life. It took all of my past experiences to get me where I am today. I'm OK with that. Question: What plans do you have for the future, and what is your next project? Nate: I really don't know what is in store for me next. I figure since flying by the seat of my pants has gotten me this far, why mess up a good thing? Ha ha. Seriously though, I'm sure my music writing will contin-

Religion The Young Christian Homemaker
By Amanda Berger
Planting the Seed Growing up as a little girl here in the foothills of the Ozarks, during the springtime my family always planted a garden. A lot of hard work, patience, and love go into tending a garden. It was and still is one of my favorite times of the year. Being a homemaker is quite similar to tending a garden I have found. It too takes a lot of hard work, patience, and love to raise a family. As a Christian parent it is our responsibility to plant the seed of the Gospel in our children’s hearts. One way we do this is, of course, taking them to church every time the doors are open. It is not the church workers responsibility to teach our children, but having them there to help is a big encouragement to me. It is such a blessing to me to have so many Christian examples in my children’s lives. Like they say, “it takes a village.” I realize that
my children learn so much at church. They are like sponges, they absorb every little thing they see and hear. They witness people worshiping. They witness people serving each other. They hear the Gospel. At church we are planting the seed. Church services are over and we are home. I still have to be that example for them. Let’s be honest, I do not want them growing up and thinking I am a hypocrite. If I am a true born-again child of God, then my life at home will also reflect my love for Jesus. So how do I plant the seed at home? How am I being an example of Jesus Christ to them? First things first, my husband and I study the Bible with them. Age appropriate of course. We listen to only Christian music now, and we worship together at home. Not only do we do it, but we encourage prayer in our home.
These things and more help plant the seed of the Gospel in their heart. It takes a lot of hard work. We have to be persistent. It takes a lot of patience with small children, boys at that! Most important, it takes a lot of love. Proverbs 22:6 NKJV says this “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” This is not a promise, but we should still try our hardest as parents to raise our children in a godly home. We should pray daily for our children to believe upon Jesus and receive His salvation. Every single one of us will stand responsible before God one day for our actions. This includes us as parents and our children when they become adults. As a Christian mom it is my responsibility to do my best to train up our children in the Word. My responsibility to plant the seed in their heart, and pray that when they get older they will not depart from it.

Decoration Day dates from 1868 From History.com
Memorial Day, or Decoration Day as it also is called, was proclaimed n 1868 to honor the Civil War dead by decorating their graves with flowers. On the first Decoration Day, Gen. James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, after which 5,000 people helped to decorate the graves of 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried there. The 1868 celebration was inspired by local observances that had taken place in various locations in the three years since the end of the Civ-
il War. Several cities claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day, including Columbus, Mississippi; Macon, Georgia; Richmond, Virginia; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania; and Carbondale, Illinois. In 1966, the federal government, under the direction of President Lyndon B. Johnson, declared Waterloo, New York, the official birthplace of Memorial Day. Waterloo, which first celebrated the day on May 5, 1866, was chosen because it made Memorial Day an annual, community-wide event, during which businesses closed and residents deco-
rated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags. By the late 19th century, many communities across the country had begun to celebrate Memorial Day, and after World War I, observers began to honor the dead of all of America’s wars. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated the last Monday in May. Several Southern states continue to set aside a special day for honoring the Confederate dead, which is usually called Confederate Memorial Day.

Fishing Report
Youthful Anglers Can Win Awards With Habitat Help The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has created a new award program specifically for youth fishing tournament organizations to help do their part in improving aquatic habitat in Arkansas reservoirs. Fishing tournament organizations affiliated with an Arkansas junior high, high school or college can apply for an award ranging from $500 to $1,000 to offset the costs of building and sinking brush piles and other habitat in Arkansas lakes. Many bass fishing tournaments aimed at young anglers are
popping up all over the state, and biologists with the AGFC’s Fisheries Division are excited about the possibilities of working with these young angling groups. “We want to promote the idea that all anglers are stewards of our aquatic resources,” said Jason Olive, AGFC Assistant Chief of Fisheries Management. “By getting these young tournament anglers involved in habitat projects, we want them to be a part of working with us from the beginning of their competitive angling careers.”

and prayers go out to those affected by the storm.” Greg says the river has returned to a more normal level today with the runoff from the storm keeping it about the same as one unit of generation. The river is muddy from the flood waters. The level of Greers Ferry Lake is about 467 feet which is 5 feet above the 462.04 normal level. This rising levels were beginning to stabilize Monday afternoon and this was a good sign. The Army Corps of Engineers has told Greg that beginning Tuesday they planned to release the equivalent of 3,000 daily cubic feet, which is approximately one generator around the clock. This will continue unless it increases or aggravates flooding on the lower Little Red or White River at Georgetown. When the water levels at Georgetown recede, the generation will be increased to lower the lake level. Check generation schedules for updates on this schedule. The generation will help the river clearing and fishing should improve with the clearing water. Be sure to check water levels on local streams and rivers during this time before planning a trip and be safe.
Greers Ferry
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 467.31 feet msl (normal conservation pool – 461.44 msl).
(updated 5-32017) Tommy Cauley of Fish Finder Guide Service said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 467.31 feet and on a slow rise and will probably come up some more with the forecast of rain, and the Corps cannot dump any due to the lakes being full to the north of us. The lake is about 6 feet above normal pool and should stay up until mid-summer. At least it will help the fish spawn and the shad spawn as well. The hybrid and white bass are on a tear eating all over the lake 25-30 feet deep on spoons, inline spinners and topwater baits. The bass are eating well. They are still in all 3 phases of spawn, with a lot of fish shallow eating topwater baits, spinner baits, plastics and jigs. The crappie are in the old brush line eating jigs and minnows. The bream fishing is good with the warmer water. Small crankbaits, crawlers and crickets are working well. Catfishing is good all over the lake. Yhey are biting on a variety of baits with any method you choose. The main lake walleye are starting to bite on crawlers. on jigheads and drop shots.

parking lot but people were getting in and out just fine, Larry said. The lake measures about 1 foot above normal at the gauge. Water temperature was 68-70 degrees. Bream are biting well on worms and crickets. Fish around the brush piles. Crappie are good on minnows or jigs. Bass fishing is excellent. Try a plastic worm and a Texas rig. Anglers report catching them in the coves. No reports on catfish or other species.
Lake Maumelle
(updated 5-32017) Vince Miller from Fish ’N Stuff (501-834-5733) said anglers are doing real well fishing jigs and spooks for bass. The bream are starting to pick up really well.
Sunset Lake
(updated 5-32017) Lisa’s Bait Shop (501-778-6944) The lake was recently stocked with catfish and customers were catching them before the flood on chicken livers, nightcrawlers and minnows. Bream have been biting crickets and red worms. Crappie are slow to bite anything lately but the few that have been caught hit size 6 minnows. Bass fishing has been fair with minnows and plastic worms or lizards.
Bishop Park Ponds
(updated 5-32017) Lisa’s Bait Shop (501-7786944) Bream fishing
has been good with crickets and worms. Bass have been biting fair on minnows and red or purple colored plastic worms. Catfish have been biting right before dark on chicken liver, minnows and bait shrimp. No recent reports of crappie being caught.
Arkansas River (Maumelle Pool)
(updated 5-32017) Zimmerman’s Exxon (501-9442527) reported there was no getting on the river earlier this week, therefore no reports.
Little Maumelle River
updated 5-32017) River Valley Marina (501-5171250) said everything in its immediate area was so muddy that no anglers had been out. No reports.
Peckerwood Lake
(updated 5-32017) Herman’s Landing (870-2413731) said water was very dingy from all the rain. The lake is at full capacity. Bream reports were good. The usual worms and crickets were working. Crappie are good on minnows and jigs. Bass reports were good, but anglers there weren’t keen on sharing what baits they were using. For catfish, though, hot dogs and just about anything else you could toss at them were working, and reports on catfish were good.
