Board adresses transparency

Amid public concern about transparency, the Fairfield Bay Community Club board held its monthly meeting last week. It was noted several times that the turnout was much higher than usual and the audience was allowed to ask questions after the meeting adjourned. Asked why the board was not as open as the City Council, President Dave Foster responded that Arkansas’ sunshine law does not apply to the Community Club board because it is private, not public. “The general public has no right to know” what goes on at the meetings, another board member said. Board members reportedly have been admonished not to comment on social media, but Foster said the board will make an effort to be more responsive. The board will consider creating a Facebook page accessible only to club members. Two board mem-
bers will be leaving when their terms are up and ballots will be mailed in June. Deadline to return the ballots is June 20. Earlier at the meeting, the board heard that revenue is slightly down so far this year. “It’s going to be a tough year,” according to Community Club executive Rocky Nickles. He said he hopes to break even by the end of the year. In his report, marina manager John Conry said the Belle of the Bay is being refurbished. He said a floating stage has been made from an old gas dock and will feature live music. He also said more than 70 people are on a waiting list for slips. That, he said, is a three-year wait. The board unanimously approved spending $2,460 for some new outdoor furniture for the Cool Pool. It also approved spending $87,750 for three boats, including a 24-foot pontoon dubbed “The Big Sexy,” and two trailers.
Complaint: Mandatory club membership worthless A resident of Memphis has filed a complaint against Wyndham Destinations, Inc., Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Fairfield Bay Community Club, Inc., and several other companies claiming he has paid a monthly assessment for more than 30 years on a parcel of land and has received nothing for his money. Gordon Jackson, in his complaint, states that Fairfield Communities, Inc., was the grantor on a deed in 1983 that conveyed the parcel in Van Buren County to him. He

alleges that the sales agreements require the buyers to pay assessments for “rights, privileges and benefits of a member” in the club at the resort (currently $59.20 per month), but states there are none pertaining to any of the real property parcels at the resort. The complaint states that at the time of sale of the lots, buyers were induced to make their purchase decisions by statements made by sales representatives for the defendant to the effect that roads, water, elec-
tricity, and other improvements would be made. But none were made, the complaint states, and as a result, the plaintiff and class members continue to be prevented from enjoying their lots. The complaint states that the plaintiff, like all members of the class, has paid thousands of dollars to the defendant and received nothing in return. Whenever an attempt is made to stop paying the monthly assessments on the property, members are
threatened with various economic harm, including injury to their credit ratings, the complaint states. This continues the fraud and tolls the running of any otherwise applicable statute of limitations, the complaint states. D e l a w a re - b a s e d Wyndham Destinations is the successor in interest to Wyndham Worldwide Corp., according to the complaint. Others named in the complaint, which was filed March 19, 2019, in Van Buren County Circuit Court are: Wyndham World-
action under Rule 23 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure. It also seeks a detailed accounting of all collections and expenditures of the assessments and requests compensatory damages and restitution. The complaint asks for a jury trial. William P. Creasman of Carney Bates & Pullium, PLLC, of Little Rock is representing the plaintiff. The complaint is Jackson v. Wyndham Destinations Inc., Case No. 71CV-19-36.
Report: Teen dragged Tahoe with no wheels
Lake level
The Army Corps of Engineers were scheduled to begin spillway releases April 1 from Greers Ferry Dam as part of the ongoing effort to evacuate water captured during heavy February and March rains. Greers Ferry Lake is still more than 8 feet above the top of its conservation pool. Those who live on the Little Red River below the dam should be aware of higher flows and plan accordingly. Barring additional heavy rain, the lake level is expected to drop about halfa-foot a day for about 12 days until the lake reaches elevation 463 feet. The releases are being made in accordance with the White River Water Control Plan.

A teenager has been charged with criminal mischief after apparently dragging a vehicle through a construction zone in Bee Branch. A deputy traveling through the area noticed an older model Chevrolet Tahoe in the construction zone on Highway 65 South. The Tahoe was missing its wheels and was buried to the frame in gravel. The vehicle appeared to have been dragged from the top of a driveway, over the asphalt and through the construction zone at the bottom of the driveway, according to an affidavit for arrest. Alex Graham told deputies where to find the wheels for the
Tahoe. He could not say why the vehicle was dragged, according to the report. A member of the construction crew showed up at the scene and stated that the damage would add up to a considerable cost and set work back by about a week, the report states. He said the area would have to be regraded, re-leveled and repacked and would require a density check by the state. The gravel work was being done by Bobby Kennedy Construction. Graham, 18, was arrested at a nearby residence and charged with first-degree criminal mischief, a Class C felony.

Oak tree battles back after tornado By Alma Wallace
This very old oak tree in my back yard was once a magnificent shade tree, much bigger than it is right now. There was an arbor swing in front of it for a good 15 years, our favorite place to sit outside in the evenings. The 2008 tornado blew away the arbor and swing and every other tree along the fence row, and stripped the tree of most of its limbs - this was the only survivor with nothing left but the few straggly and uneven
thick branches you can see through the new growth. It was so ugly and looked like a scarecrow, a real eyesore. Now I'm so glad it wasn't cut down, as nature in its infinite wisdom knew exactly where to grow new limbs to turn it back into a shade tree. When it's covered with leaves the difference between old growth and new isn't visible at all, it just looks like a regular tree. To quote something I heard on TV - "from the ground the clusters of leaves on a tree look
random, but nothing in nature is random. When you look at them from above, you can see every single leaf has positioned itself in the perfect spot to be able to absorb the sun". This tree is a perfect and visible example of divine design in all of God's creation. It may never again reach its original size, and it took 9 years of new growth to reshape it into enough shade for a swing, but I was finally able to set up a new one last fall. Patience has its rewards.

I will have “celebrated” my birthday by the time this is printed. I just turn 39, of course it was a U-turn. I won’t tell you how old I am, but my favorite president during my lifetime was Eisenhower. Of course, you are familiar with the old saying, “You are only as old as you feel.” To a large extent that is true, but there are other ways to tell if you are getting old. Check these out: - You are keep losing your balance. They say that we have 5 senses, sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. But there are actually several more than that, one being a sense of balance. As we get older this sense can become compromised and this can be due to a number of reasons. My balance is terrible, but I’m referring to my ability to balance my checkbook. - You walk slower. If you can walk about 2¼ miles an hour, you will live longer than those who can’t. Walking requires the full facilities of several of your body’s systems: heart, lungs, muscles, bones, joints, etc. When these
begin to wear out from over-use, it will affect your ability to walk. - You have difficulty opening jars or bottles. Grip strength is predictive of your overall strength. If you are not eating properly your muscles will pay the price. - You have dry skin. You were probably wondering when I was going to get to this one. The skin needs a certain level of pH, which is slightly acidic, in order to facilitate exfoliation and hydration. Yada, yada, yada, you have dry skin. - You wake up at odd times during the night. Do you remember the time when you could sleep all night? Wasn’t it wonderful? Many of us have to get up during the night to go the bathroom or to let the noisy dog out, but if you are waking up in the middle of the night and cannot return to sleep, something is wrong. Getting your sleep out of rhythm is another one of those annoying signs of aging. Sorry…I just fell asleep while trying to type this. - Ron Henson, BSRN
April Fool’s Day is marked on the calendar as the very first one of April’s 30 days. It’s a day that pranksters love. Once upon a time – far away and long ago – it was a day when students might think of skipping school, as a prank. And sometimes, they might actually skip class and get by with it. That couldn’t possibly happen in this day and age, but during my school days at Banner Mountain, a small group of girls made plans to skip class, take their lunch pails and walk off into the woods, one warm and wonderful April Fool’s Day. If my memory serves me right, there were four, maybe five, of us. And yes, I was one of them. Two or three of us were fifth- or sixth-graders and two others were younger. I can’t say for sure that we took our lunch and I don’t recall how long we were absent from school. But when we returned, I do recall Mr. Loren Rose, my teacher, meeting us outside the schoolhouse, briefly, before sending us to our desks. And I recall the schoolmates, standing there —all boys, who had not dared to pull any prank for April Fools but probably were wishing they had – however, they seemed to be hoping we would be punished for our prank. But there was no punishment except a scolding! And a chance to make up the test we had missed. I wish I knew what grade I received for that effort but I don’t recall. The following poem was written based on my memory of that experience in April when we took an unauthorized walk in the woods to a little branch that meandered down the hill and into Weaver Creek. How beautiful the springtime in the Ozarks, especially there

This mighty oak tree was almost lost in the 2008 tornado.
I just turned 39 nutritional value can leave you malnourished and that can lead you to illness or disease. Garbage in, garbage out. Diet truly is 80% of it. The other 20% is movement and self care. Do you ever wake up feeling horrible the day after eating a bunch of junk or heavy meals? Headaches, sluggish, trouble concentrating, bloated? Poor food choices can leave us with a food hangover. Compare how you feel the day after eating “clean” and how you feel the day after “junk foods.” But remember it’s OK to give in to your cravings every now and then because your body can reset itself, it just may take a few days. So sit back, do a self health assessment, take control of what you can and make good food choices. I challenge you!

Let food be thy medicine Ron’s Perhaps more than anything else we have control over in our lives, the foods we eat on a regular basis may help determine whether or not we will become ill or remain healthy throughout our lives and into old age. Hippocrates said, “Let thy medicine be thy food.” When it comes to your health and well-being a calorie is not just a calorie - 1,500 calories from a salad is not the same as 1,500 calories from Reeces peanut butter cups. What we eat plays a large role in controlling inflammation in our bodies, our digestive health, nutritional health, brain health, heart health and so much more. Nutritional deficiencies and toxicity from a poor diet are linked to nearly all modern health conditions from diabetes to heart disease. Good food choices help control inflammation (which is the root of most diseases and also contributes to the effects of aging), balance hormones, alkalize the body, balance blood sugar, detox the body of toxins and improve the absorption of nutrients. And did you know you can eat a ton of calories and still be malnourished? Poor food choices, processed, chemical laden foods that offer no

Old Hickory Stick
Our shoes left prints on moss like tracks in snow the morning that we walked into the woods. Five of us girls picked up lunch pails and slipped onto the path behind the two-room school. We giggled when we thought of Mr. Rose – how he would fume to find we had skipped class! We sat along the bank of talking brook and watched it slither down a curving line through forest full of pine and sycamore. We ate our lunch of biscuit, bacon, ham, fresh deviled egg, blackberry jam, fried pies – a rare delight and yummy chocolate treat. As we trudged back toward the big schoolhouse, Yvonne, who wondered what our mom might do, began to walk in slow, methodic steps, regretting fun and pranks of April Fool. “No need to worry now, Yvonne,” I said, “We’ll make it home and mom will never know.” As we came from the woods, lunch pails in hand, classmates –all boys – ran fast to tell the Teach, who sternly met us at the schoolhouse door. The hickory stick in his right hand was huge. We heard the snickers from accusing boys, all set to watch the paddling we deserved. But Mr. Rose put down Old Hickory Stick. “Go to your desks,” he said, “get your pencils, your tablets, too, and take this test you missed in school today.” We sighed with great relief!

Lalla Ostergren
Lalla Lee Ostergren, 94, of Dennard, Arkansas, went in search of a better garden on Friday, March 29, 2019, at her home of 44 years. She was born in rural Randolph County, Arkansas on May 6, 1924, to David Crockets Stevens and Mary Emmaline (Davis) Stevens. She was a real “Rosie the Riveter” during WWII, serving as a plumber’s assistant and welder on battleships in California, as a driver for an Army major in Washington and assembled munitions in St. Louis. On March 21, 1944 in Oakland, California, she married Richard Henry Ostergren, and eventually moved back to her beloved Arkansas in 1974 to live a back to the earth lifestyle. She earned an honorary doctorate from the Institute of Alternative Medicine and spoke on that subject, and organic gardening, regularly in public gatherings. She published two books and wrote a gar-
dening column for years. She is survived by sons David Gustaf of Dennard and Steven Henry, and wife Camille, of Maumelle, Arkansas. Lalla is preceded by her husband of 68 years, her father and mother, and siblings Barbara, Flora, Bessie, Lily, Frank, Clarence and Lena. A service of celebration and remembrance will be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home, Clinton, Arkansas. Her remains will be laid to rest, next to her husband’s, in Salem Cemetery, Dennard.

Church. James graduated from Clinton schools in 1972 and then worked at the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department for 39½ years where he retired in 2012 as crew chief. James met his soulmate, Sonya, in 1992 and they each complemented each other’s strengths and weaknesses. They enjoyed and cherished each other and their time together. James loved his two sons and loved having them close to him. He cherished his time with his grandchildren and adored them as they did him. James was a kind soul and he never met anyone whom he didn’t touch with his kindness and generosity. He loved his friends and family and was always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what was asked. James left to cherish his memory his loving and devoted wife and soulmate, Sonya Wallis Washington; his two sons, Jeremiah Washington and Ryan McGoveran and daughter-in-law Kayla McGoveran; two grandchildren, Keahton McGoveran and Joshua McGoveran; one brother, Willie C.

Archaeologists inspect Indian artifacts By Cindy Wilson
If you encourage a group of Indian history buffs to to bring items either historic or prehistoric or anything for that matter, for an archaeologist to take a look at ….. be prepared for an interesting evening. Jared Pebworth and Mike Evans, archaeologists with the Arkansas Archeological Survey/University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, faced an enthusiastic crowd last Friday night at Marshall. As promised, they inspected and did per-
form “artifact Identification." Their principal theme was Experimental Archaeology: the replication of prehistoric tools and weapons for research and public education. This was a handson question and answer type presentation. Most of their replications are based on archaeological materials recovered from the Ozark region of Arkansas, that are housed in the collections of major museums from across the country. They demonstrated how Native Americans used tools and

weapons and the creative and intelligent technique used to create them centuries prior to the machine age. Interesting facts revealed and shown: * Using a bamboo/ river cane shaft, an Indian could blow a projectile 50 to 100 yards and kill big game. * Bluff shelters protected Indian artifacts for 2,000 to 4,000 years. * Indians did not make war in the rain because the rawhide animal sinew that made their bows strong softened in the rain. * Dogwood sapling is a good wood for
making bow arrows; while hickory, ash and Bodark make good bows * Clubs made of knots in trees made the best clubs, which were the main weapon for war. * Mussel shells were attached to hand hewn handles made for hoes and cultivation. * To make intricate woven baskets, required a mathematician’s mind. Women made great baskets. * Making a shaft for hunting was much more time consuming than making a foreshaft (arrow) and that is why many foreshafts were

made enabling Indians to “reload” quickly. * Arrow points were made of flint, gar scale, deer bone, and when Indians traded with others, they got brass and metal too. * Gourds came before pottery for eating and cooking purposes. Gourds would burn so instead, a stone was heated over fire and dropped into a soup to heat it. * Rock art is found in this area around bluffs. Indians used color: black walnut for browns and blacks; blood root for reds and orange; dock for yellows. * The Osage primarily were in Missouri but used our region for
their hunting grounds. * The Bureau of Indian Affairs issued Certificates of Degree of Indian Blood in the late 1800’s but many distrusted the white man and refused to sign up (i.e. Dawes Rolls). * An arrow is preformed by percussion using another rock.

My very good friend Lalla Ostergren left us Friday. Predictions of her imminent death, almost two years ago, were premature. After several months at the nursing center, she returned to her rural Dennard home to die. The company of her cat, dogs, visits from neighbors and a cheery fire in her fireplace revived her. She wanted to republish her book “My Road Home.” So we did. She wanted to write a garden column. So we did. She wanted her garden to be productive again. And so it is. She wanted to start writing her next book. That project is underway now. This past
month, as she sank quickly, she could still muster “I feel wonderful!” to visitors who inquired. It was not her generosity, or strong desire to help people and the world that I’ll best remember. It was her indomitably positive attitude, even in the face of all evidence to the contrary. “Thank you for being my friend, Lalla, and sharing so many life lessons. I love you, darling.” If you have info about the greater Crabtree and west 16 community, call Jeff Burgess, 745-1249.

Page 5 JR had a doctor’s appointment in Conway on Tuesday. Margie Pounds went with us and after he saw the doctor, she and I went bowling for a while. We had lunch at Golden Corral and then went shopping at Walmart. On the way home JR saw some yard sale signs in Greenbrier, so he wanted to go check them out on Thursday. Well, we went to Greenbrier on Thursday and checked out the yard sales and then Margie and I went bowling again! After all that practice, I still don’t seem to get any better at it! As I send this in, it feels like winter again. I guess the good Lord knows what is happening with this weather, I sure don’t! Until next time, have a good week. God bless all.
Shirley classmates attended, including Ted Hooten of Searcy. Visiting Jerel and Kathleen Brown over the weekend was their son Jeremy Brown from East End. Jeremy also visited his grandmother Helen Brown. Rumor has it the Easter Bunny was seen crossing Fourth Street in Shirley last week, so does that mean the Easter eggs froze? Hansel Bradford and his wife Beth were in Shirley visiting Wednesday. Jimmy Murray and Hansel got to see each other for the first time in over 50 years after lunch at the Senior Center. We went to the Shirley Museum and got to see Sammie Fay Gentry and her granddaughter, who just happened to stop by the museum. Debbie, the volunteer at the museum, said she had seven visitors Wednesday. Hansel Bradford is a retired state trooper from Harrison. He told us some interesting history of this county, for instance, the first state trooper to get killed on duty was from Formosa, in this county. He played baseball in Shirley as a young man. He has a lot of memories. Spring has sprung in Shirley even if we do get a late freeze. Like the dormant plants, we can feel it in our bones.

I am back from my cruise. It was wonderful and I enjoyed every minute having a great time with my family and new friends. It is always good to be home. We have some new cooks and the food seems to be much better. The spaghetti at Clinton was great and the taco soup at Shirley was delicious. Fairfield Bay has a new director, Nancy McGowen.

Glass artist hosts artists By Joyce Hartmann
Ed Pennebaker gave a demonstration of his glass art to members of the North Central Arkansas Artist League on Monday, March 25, at his Red Fern Glass Studio in Clinton. About 20 members and guests learned how he made his own glass, and watched him melt and shape the glass to make the colorful components of his beautiful chandeliers. The roar of the superhot propane furnaces and the bright orange-heated glass as it came out of the furnace
was spell-binding, as was the quick transition to blowing, then shaping, bending and cutting the glass with tools. Ed was born in Pratt, Kansas, and in 1985 he became owner/glassmaker at Red Fern Glass in Salem, Arkansas. For 27 years the studio was in the woods near Osage. He went on to earn M.A. and B.F.A. degrees from Emporia State University and attended many workshops. He used to make glass by melting it from raw materials, including Arkansas sand, but today he melts most

glass from Spruce Pine Batch, adding colorants like cobalt, iron, copper, and nickel. Wife Carol Corning, also an artist, shares the studio with sculpture, fused glass, and assemblages. She is an art teacher in the Clinton School District. Pennebaker describes his work as minimal mixed-media environmental sculpture. He says he gets inspiration from the environment, especially the garden and the woods surrounding his home and studio. Visit Pennebaker’s website www.redfernglass.com.

Fishing Report to conditions and area.
North Arkansas
White River
Travis Woods had a successful day while floating on the Saline River this past week, catching this walleye on a crankbait. Photo provided by Lisa Spencer of Lisa's Bait Shop.
Central Arkansas
Saline River Access in Benton
(updated 3-272019) Lisa Spencer at Lisa’s Bait Shop (501778-6944) said the river was right this week and the fishing has been good. Bass and walleye have been biting well. Brooder minnows, Carolina- and Texas-rigged lizards and crankbaits have been catching some nice ones. Catfish have been biting minnows, goldfish, black salties and chicken livers. Crappie fishing has been good with No. 6 minnows, pink minnows and Kalin’s grubs in various colors. If you want to catch bream, try crickets or redworms on small hooks and light line with a small float or just tight line it.
Little Red River
(updated 3-272019) Lowell Myers of Sore Lip’em All Guide Service said currently they are seeing around 14 hours of daily generation on the Little Red River. The Greers Ferry Lake level is above normal seasonal pool due to recent rains, so longer periods of generation with possible flood gates being used to lower the lake level as quickly as possible are
expected. If you choose to fish these conditions, you will want to use long leaders and weight. Key for both fly-fishing and Trout Magnet fishing during heavy generation is the ability to get and maintain a good presentation of the fly or Trout Magnet. Working shoreline with streamers is also an effective fly-fishing method during high water conditions. For fly-fishing, Lowell recommends San Juan worms, micro jigs, march brown patterns and streamers during high water conditions, and pheasant tails, sowbugs and streamers during normal water conditions. Hot pink, cotton candy and white bodies on chartreuse jigheads are recommended for Trout Magnet spin fishing. Be safe while enjoying the river. Always check before heading to the Little Red River by calling the Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District water data system (501-362-5150) for Greers Ferry Dam water release information.
Greers Ferry Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 470.49 feet msl (normal conservation pool: 462.04 feet msl Oct. 1-April 30; 463.04 feet msl May
1-June 1; 462.54 feet msl June 1-Sept. 30). (updated 3-272019) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-940-1318) said the water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 470.54 feet msl and rising again. It is 8.5 feet above normal pool of 462.04 feet msl. It should level off in a couple of days and then start decreasing with generation if we do not get any more rain, but it is supposed to rain a lot between now and the end of May, so we will have to wait and see. Crappie catching is going well spider-rigging, and vertical-fishing as well, from 12-30 feet of water on jigs, minnows and crankbaits. Walleye are eating at various times all over the lake and rivers on crankbaits, minnows, bream, grubs, drop-shot rigs, up super shallow out to 30 feet. Bream are starting to show themselves in 12-18 feet of water and can be caught on small crankbaits, inline spinners, and crickets. All species of black bass are eating a variety of baits from super shallow out to 30 feet; pick your strengths. Hybrid bass and white bass catching is good in the lake and rivers using a variety of baits as well fished horizontal and vertical, according
(updated 3-272019) John Berry of Berry Brothers Guide Service in Cotter (870435-2169) said last weekend that during the past week they had just a trace or rain, warmer temperatures and heavy winds (to include lake wind advisories). The lake level at Bull Shoals fell 3.1 feet to rest at 1 foot above seasonal power pool of 659 feet msl. This is 35 feet below the top of flood pool. Upstream, Table Rock fell 0.1 foot to rest at 0.7 foot above seasonal power pool and 15.3 feet below the top of flood pool. Beaver Lake fell 0.9 foot a foot to rest at 1.6 feet above seasonal power pool and 8 feet below the top of flood pool. The White had heavy generation and no wadable water. Norfork Lake fell 1.3 feet to rest at 1 foot above seasonal power pool of 553.75 feet msl and 25.2 feet below the top of flood pool. The Norfork had heavy generation and some wadable water. All of the lakes in the White River System are near the top of power pool. We can expect some wadable water in the near future. The White has fished well. The hot spot has been the catch-and release section at Rim Shoals. The hot flies were olive Woolly Buggers (sizes 8, 10), Y2Ks (sizes 14, 12), prince nymphs (size 14), zebra midges (black with silver wire and silver bead or red with silver wire and silver bead sizes 16, 18), pheasant tails (size 14), ruby midges (size 18), root beer midges (size 18), pink and cerise San Juan worms (size 10), and sowbugs (size 16).

Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective (John’s current favorite combination is a size 14 bead-head pheasant tail nymph with a size 12 egg pattern suspended below it. Use plenty of lead to get your flies down.) There have been some shad coming through the generators at Bull Shoals Dam. John says his favorite fly for this situation has been a white mop fly suspended below an egg pattern.
Norfork Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 554.49 feet msl (normal conservation pool: September-April 552.00 feet msl; April-September, 554.00 feet msl). (updated 3-272018) Tom Reynolds of STR Outfitters said, “This past week has been the hardest to catch a morning striper in years. I fished Sunday, Monday and Tuesday mornings in Bennett's Bayou and Big Creek and did not have one bite. The full moon was the main problem. Like deer hunting, the stripers were feeding in the late afternoons and all night. I canceled my Tuesday trip since there was no action for my clients. My Wednesday clients decided to go on an afternoon and we hooked up nine times boating eight stripers and hybrids by dark. My son went out about 8 p.m. and threw some stick baits and hooked eight and boated two in 45 minutes. My Wednesday client had booked a two-day trip but could not go in the evening on Thursday so we did a morning trip. We left at 5:45 am and went up to Cranfield to fish the points where some stripers had been caught. Again we did not have 1 bite
but found large schools of largemouth bass off the pine trees in Pigeon Creek. His grand boys had a great time catching 2- and 3-pound bass all morning. Friday night I took my clients out in Big Creek and again hooked up with stripers. Saturday night in the rain my son and I both had clients and he boat three and I only could boat hybrids I had over 6 strikes using gizzards but we could not get a solid hookup. The late afternoon and night bite is the strongest right now and as the south winds blow the night bite will only get better. Fish the shallow flat banks midcreek starting around 4:30 to dark in Big Creek, Bennett's and Brushy. Some crappies are being caught off the stickups in Bennett's but the majorly of crappie have moved shallow I have catching good size crappie in 4 feet or less throwing my shad net. I asked a crappie fisherman how deep he was fishing and he said 10 to 20 feet and he was having no luck. I told him to go shallow but he looked at me like I was crazy. I have big schools of crappie on brush piles while I'm striper fishing in Big Creek, Bennett's and Pigeon Creek.”
Norfork Tailwater
(updated 3-272019) John Berry of Berry Brothers Guide Service in Cotter (870-4352169) said last weekend that over the previous week Norfork Lake fell 1.3 feet to rest at 1 foot above seasonal power pool of 553.75 feet msl and 25.2 feet below the top of flood pool. The Norfork had heavy generation and some wadable water. All of the lakes in the White River System are near the top of power pool.
