TUESDAY, April 3, 2018 / Vol. 4 Issue 14 / 75 cents 1 killed in crash
A North Carolina man died March 26 in a three-vehicle accident in Bee Branch. A 2017 Dodge Ram was southbound on Highway 65 when it crossed the center line and struck a 2017 Chevrolet Impala head on. The pickup continued south and struck a dump truck, according to an Arkansas State Police report. Jesse Taylor Jr., 53, of Kingston, N.C., driver of the Impala, was pronounced dead at the scene by Van Buren County Coroner Joe Tsosie. Steven Horton, 47, of Marshall, driver of the Dodge Ram, was injured, according to the report. The report states he was not taken to a hospital. Traffic was backed up in both directions for several hours. The roads were dry and the weather clear, according to the report.

Counting the years - A crowd gathered at the high school cafeteria to enjoy a meal and catch up with old friends Saturday evening at the annual Clinton Alumni Banquet. Featured speaker was Renia Robinette, daughter of former teacher Chesley Robinette and school staff member Linda Robinette. Robinette spoke about her experiences with cancer and reminded everyone to take some time to really listen to others. Mark McKnight was named distinguished alumnus for 2018.
The Van Buren County Ambulance Commission met last week to review the performance of Medic One. The commission chose Medic One, ousting Southern Paramedic Services last December. Southern pulled out a few days later and Medic One took over only nine days after its selection. It hasn't been without some rough spots, though, as six times there have been no Medic One ambulances available and the call has been answered by Fairfield Bay ambulances and by the sheriff's office transporting people to the hospital. 911 Dispatch numbers show that in January and February there were 106 times when there were no Medic One ambulances available. There were no calls for an ambulance during those times, dispatcher Judy Wells told the committee. The average time no ambulance was available was 45 minutes to an hour. Some changes were made
in mid-February and the number of times there was no ambulance dropped from 73 in January to 33 in February. Medic One's Ryan Kibler said he thinks they have "done a pretty good job." He said all counties run out of ambulances. "We'll have as many ambulances (in Clinton) as the market will bear," he said. Kibler said his office has received compliments on their clean ambulances and professional employees. He said they have not received any complaints. A few times Kibler said the company had a lot of plans for Clinton but he didn't feel comfortable beginning them until a five-year contract was signed. That was taken care of after the meeting. Committee Chairman Brian Tatum closed the meeting saying, "Did we cut an ambulance? Yes, we did. Did we get the professionals we were looking for? Yes, we did."
Hink says sewage backup fixed
Clinton resident Thu Welborn lived through some horrible years before she found happiness with an American GI. The Voice is honored to reprint her book, My Life, beginning on Page 8.
Residents in Simlock Acres in Clinton should be breathing easier now. After recurring problems with sewage backing up into yards, at one house in particular, Water Department Manager Richard Hink called in some big guns from Little Rock to get the job done. Badger Daylighting Corp. brought in a truck Friday that could apply thousands of pounds of pressure to break up clogs blocking a sewer line. They began at the manhole cover that was closest to the major backup and worked their way down the line until they got everything washed down to the sewer plant. Hink said most of the backup was rainwater,
Workers use high-powered hoses and other equipment to unclog sewer lines Friday. but some was sewage. Still more of the blockage was made up of debris, such as a deflated basketball, wads of diapers, dish towels - and other items that should not be flushed. Hink said people in the subdivision
deserve better, and he thinks Badger's work, at $2,500 a day, has taken care of the problem. He says he does not believe the sewer problem was infrastructure because the water/sewage flowed smoothly after one
particular manhole was cleared. Hink said he thought the side yard of the most affected house would dry up within the hour Friday. He said if anyone experiences sewage problems they should call him.

Visiting Walt and Mary Thompson recently were her niece and nephew Tanya and Ben Ryckman of Norman, Oklahoma. Last week Jo Carol Hamilton went to Willow Park, Texas, to visit her daughter, Dorthy Willingham and husband Chris. Going with Jo were Genia and Machaela Hamilton of Hattieville, Jo's daughter-in-law and youngest granddaughter.

Marva and RG Ward, Frankie, Erica, Rylan and Landon Ward, Sindee and David Morse and
their grandchildren, Maddox and Kylah, all went to Branson for spring break. They all also enjoyed a good time at Silver Dollar City. They took their campers and Frankie and Erica did most of the cooking in their Lodge cast iron cookware. Marva said along with everything else, Erica makes great biscuits. Lauren and Ben Foster and Sindee and David took the three little ones to the zoo. They all enjoyed the outing. I talked to Ruth Webb, she says they are both doing better. That is good news. Margie Pounds and I went to Conway on Tuesday. We went bowling, shopping and also went for her check-up at the doctor. We had a long day, but it was fun. We left home shortly after 9 a.m. and got back just before dark! JR and I and our nephew went to North Little Rock for JR’s check-up. When he was through at the doctor’s, we went to Jacksonville to try out the Barnhill’s restaurant. It was a
pretty good place to eat, but none of the dessert came up to the GC bread pudding! Our Aunt Geneva’s birthday party turned out to be a great success. There was around 60 or more people who came for lunch or to just wish her a happy birthday. Those attending from out of town were her nieces, Lillian Treece, Vivian Sharer and Mary Collinsworth, they are the daughters of her older brother, Lloyd Treece. Wanda and Dewayne Thompson of Bentonville also got to be there. Wanda is the daughter of her brother, GW “Dub” Treece. Lots of nieces and nephews and cousins were there to help her celebrate. I hope everyone had a happy Easter. God bless and have a great week.

Since frost forms on outdoor surfaces that have cooled past the dew point, the National Weather Service says patchy frost can occur with temperatures as warm as 38 to 42 degrees.

Local pair make road trip to see tree ceremony Story by Robert R. Gaut
Barnett Bruce and I traveled to Ozark, Missouri last week for the blessing and dedication of a new young pignut hickory marker tree. It rained hard on us all the way up and we were worried that the event and ceremony would be cancelled, but we pushed on. As we got to Ozark the sky got lighter and the rain was letting up. We arrived at the Smallin Civil War Cave 45 minutes early so we had time to meet folks and see and touch the 230-yearold black walnut marker tree, which is slowly losing its battle for life. These
trees do not last forever and are very important to the Osage Nation and they were there to bless the new hickory tree that is in the process of being bent and groomed to replace the black walnut when its time is over. The bending of the trees takes a long time and a lot of tender loving care. This hickory tree has been bent and groomed for over two years now and will take much longer before it decides to take shape and grow. Both these trees are pointing due east and the Osage believe that is the path to life. The new tree was blessed in a ceremony by the Osage
Principal Chief, Chief Geoffrey M. Standing Bear, and a delegation of Osage Nation members from Oklahoma. During the dedication ceremony the roll of the marker trees, and the symbolic importance of the trees’ eastern direction was explained along with a cedar smoke wash of the tree, this was to serve and tell a portion of the Osage Culture, which once dominated the Ozarks. This was a once in a lifetime experience for me, and I was greatly honored and blessed to be able to attend this historic event, something most of us will never see.

Joe Ward
Joe D. Ward, 83, shared his last story and made his way to heaven on Saturday, March 24, 2018. He left behind his wife of 63 years, Dena; his son Joey (Teri), his daughter Mica, and several grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. Joe is preceded in death by his parents, the Rev. Roy and Mamie Ward, his sister Marketa Evans, and his brothers Gary “Butch,” Bobby and John. The celebration of Joe’s life was Saturday, March 31, 10 a.m. at Woodland Heights Baptist Church in Conway. In 1953, Joe joined the Air Force and landed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Joe was born in Marvel, Arkansas, and met the love of his life in Damascus when they were both in the third grade. Dena and Joe didn’t meet again until their teen years. Joe, one of eight siblings, said he was the only obedient son as his father said one of his boys needed to marry Dena Smith. As her pastor, he wanted her sweet soprano voice in his choir. Joe captured her heart and they wed when Joe returned home on a furlough in 1954. The couple lived in Albuquerque until 1958. Upon returning to Arkansas, Joe and Dena took up the farmer life in Bee Branch. When their home burned down See Obituaries on page 5

April 3, 2018 Obituaries from page 4 a year later, they moved to Conway where they have lived ever since. Joe spent most of his adult life in the pre-cast concrete then construction business. He built many homes in Conway and remodeled much of both Hendrix College and the University of Central Arkansas. Known as Pawpaw Joe, when a baby was fussy, it was handed off to him. While he’s a grandfather to several, he’s Pawpaw Joe to countless. He teased and joked with all the children – too many
children to remember their names. He simply called everyone “Fred.”

AGFC hears hunting recommendations Biologists and staff with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission offered the first reading of recommendations for the 2018-19 hunting season to commissioners at a recent meeting. In addition to wording clarifications and season date changes, many recommendations centered on removing hunting restrictions and offering increased hunting opportunities. "More than 40
percent of the staff recommendations expand hunting opportunities, and 46 percent are clarifications to code language," AGFC Director Pat Fitts said. "We really want to focus on offering more to our hunters and remove some of the roadblocks to hunting." Biologists recommended the reduction in the cost of Private Land Elk Permits from $35 to $5, and changes to streamline the application process
so that anyone who applies may hunt until the annual elk quota is reached as long as they have landowner permission. The AGFC Bear Team recommended the bear quota for Bear Zone 1 be increased from 205 to 250, and also recommended that hunters participating in permitted firearms hunts on state-owned See AGFC on page 7

A brief history of Formosa Church of Christ The Formosa Church of Christ has a rich heritage dating from 1874 when the Isom Bowling family moved from Hardman County, Tennessee, to Arkansas. Soon after they arrived he built a small church house near Bowling Springs. At first there were a few family members who worshipped there, but by 1900 the membership had grown to where it was described as “several families.” The congregation moved to Slick Rock, a oneroom school building, in 1900. They continued worshipping there until the school house was blown away in 1906. We have no record that tells where the members worshipped from 1906 until 1910. We do know that in 1910 a new one-room building was finished and the following charter members moved into the new building located just southwest of the present church building: J.M. Fullerton, E.M. Morhan, Elizabeth Hammett, Artie Pavatt, T.M. Bowling, Exie Bowling, Sara Ann Bowling, T.B. Farley, F.M. Jones, H.C. Jones, Ida Ann Jones, J.T. Bowling, Joanna Farley, Minnie Bradley, Mrs. S.E. Hal-
brook, Dr. and Mrs. D.J. Halbrook, Kate Fullerton, J.E. Honeycutt, G.W. Glendenning, Will Auvenshine, Lyda Auvenshine, Will Cates, Lucy Cates, H.C. Crawford, Mamie Crawford, J.M. Webb, Martha Webb, Earlie Webb, Elvie Webb, Cletis Webb, Ellis Webb, Verla Webb, Uria Webb, Oather Webb, S.M. Bowman, Gila Cates. Light for the church was provided by kerosene burners with white shades that hung from the ceiling. Seats were long homemade slated benches. The heat was provided by a wood stove that did not give enough heat when it was very cold. Funeral home fans provided some relief from the mid-summer extreme heat. Additional heat came when an arbor was added in the front of the building. The benches were bought out and services were held under the arbor during the hot weather. Through the years, improvements were made. Delco lights were added in the 1920s, but after electricity came to the area, florescent lights were installed. Other improvements included butane heaters, window air conditioners and carpet.
Beautiful oak pews were purchased in the ’50s. A central heating and cooling system, a baptestery, two classrooms and rest rooms were added later. By 1980 the congregation realized the 1910 building needed replaced with a new one. The Fullerton property was purchased and a building fund started. Brother W.T. Kincannon, who had preached for the church since 1971, proposed that we accept a $63,500 interest-free loan from him and get started immediately. The elders gratefully accepted the offer. Don Eades was hired to construct the building. On Oct. 28, 1984, the building was dedicated with 150 in attendance. In April 1985, Wendell Needham held the first gospel meeting in the new building. On Sunday the meeting concluded with a homecoming attended by local people, former members and friends. On Dec. 27, 1987, an appreciation program was held following a worship service for the Kincannons. The last payment of the building loan was made, and the Kincannons received a plaque and other gifts. The old bell that Donald Morgan drove a team to Little Rock to purchase was placed in a belfry in the new building and each Sunday morning it is still tolled to remind people to come worship at the Formosa Baptist Church.

WMAs in Bear Zone 1 be allowed to take one bear during the hunt, regardless of whether the quota had been met. With additional positive cases of chronic wasting disease discovered during the 201718 deer season, biologists with the Research, Evaluation and Compliance Division recommended the following modifications to deer hunting regulations: • The addition of Benton, Washington, Crawford, Franklin and Sebastian counties to the CWD Management Zone. • The creation of a two-tiered carcass movement restriction, where deer from Tier 1 (Boone, Carroll, Madison and Newton counties) would not be allowed outside of the outer border of that tier, and deer from Tier 2 (Benton, Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Logan, Pope, Searcy, Marion, Sebastian, Yell, Washington and Van Buren counties) not be allowed outside the outer border of the entire CWD Management Zone. • The removal of antler restrictions on bucks within WMAs lying in the CWD Management Zone. • The removal of the Three-point Rule in all counties within the CWD Management Zone. In addition to staff recommendations, Commissioners asked for a waterfowl-hunting recommendation to be included in the public comment survey. From communications with waterfowl hunters on public land, Commissioners offered the following package to be submitted to the public for opinion: • The removal of shell restrictions on all WMAs, • The removal of reduced waterfowl bag limits on all WMAs, • The prohibition of surface-drive motors on all WMAs with a delayed effective date to allow owners of such motors time to find alternative motors for their boats on WMAs.

My Life by Thu Welborn
Clinton resident Thu (pronounced To) Welborn lived through some harsh conditions in her early years in Vietnam before finding happiness with an American GI. This is Thu’s story.)
Part 1
In a small village in a country now known as North Vietnam, I was born in autumn of 1935. My parents named me "Thu" which means "autumn” in Vietnamese. Since my father's family name was Royal, my name spoken in English was Royal Autumn. As a young child, I lived with my mother and father, and two older brothers. When I was seven years old, the Japanese invaded Vietnam. The first thing the invaders did when they came into my country was to kill all the young boys. Then after that, the Japanese took our lands and forced us to plant their crops from which they would make tow sacks. At the same time, the Japanese forced us to sell all of our food to them in exchange for their paper money. The money was useless to us because we had nothing left to eat. The Japanese forced us to do their work while most of us starved to death. As the invaders forced us to process their crop fibers into material for tow sacks, we had to soak the plants in our ponds and lakes that had once supplied our drinking water. The soaking process left our water supplies filled with chemicals that turned the water black and poisonous. We had no water to drink, no food to eat. In my family, my parents and my oldest brother starved to death. In the villages, there were dead bodies everywhere. My other brother and I survived those terrible times by eating whatever we could find. We chewed on grass to get a little juice in our mouths but we could not swallow it. My brother was 10 years older than I was so he tried his best to look out for me. However, since he was only 17, he was so frightened that he wouldn't be able to property raise me as a young girl so he gave me away to a Vietnamese family he had just met. I did not know at that time, but I would
never see my brother again after that. I lived with this family for about five years. They gave me very little food to eat and were very cruel to me. About 4 a.m. every day, the family gave me one cup of rice to eat and then no more food for that day. After I had eaten the rice, the people in the family made me work until 2 a.m. the next morning before they gave me a chance to rest. I was only allowed two hours of sleep out of every 24. I tried to run away many times, but the family often caught me right away and made me go back to work for them. Other times, I would run away and make it to the marketplace where I hid for a few days. At night, I slept in the dirt in the empty marketplace. To survive there, I ate grains of rice or whatever I could find on the ground. However, the family always found me. They scolded and made me return to their home. Every morning the family made me go out into the fields and collect human manure, which I carried back to the village in baskets. Then, by hand, I was made to mix the manure with ashes to make fertilizer for the fields. After this process, I had to work in the rice fields until about 9 p.m. every night, walking through the muddy manure that was filled with large leeches. At night, I had to work in the family's home, washing and bundling vegetables for the mother to take to the market the following day. As time passed, working with my feet and legs in the muddy manure, I found myself feeling sick. My feet and legs had become infected, and the skin on them began to rot. I soon became very ill. Every day just before sundown, I got a chill through my whole body, shivering very badly. I had no blanket to cover me as I slept on the cold dirt floor, so I put handfuls of rice straw over me to keep me warm. Then about midnight every night, I woke up feeling very hot with a high fever. This went on every night for about two months. No medicine of any kind was ever offered to me. Every morning at 4 a.m. I had to get up and go back to work. I became so weak that one night when I was so cold, I curled up into a ball
to try to stay warm. The next morning, I could not straighten out my body. I lay there for a very long time. The family, not caring, left me there for dead. Many days passed. I'm not sure how many, but then I recovered. I was made to return to work in the fields with the family members. At the end of one day, the family left me a large area of a field that I would have to work by myself on the following day. The morning of the next day, I went to the rice fields alone in the dark. Before the sun came up, I left the family's rice fields behind and walked a long 22-mile journey to the city of Hanoi. There, at the age of 12, I would begin a new life, free of the mean family and my terrible past. ***** On my way to Hanoi, I passed through many rice fields walking along the the top of a high dike that protected the villages from the spring floods. The morning I escaped from the family was dark and cloudy. I had no starlight or moonlight to show me the way. But soon the sun came up and burned the clouds away. I followed the path at the top of the dike, making my way to the big city. I had no food on my journey. When I was thirsty, I walked down from the dike to the rice fields where I scooped up water with my hands to drink. About 9 p.m. that night, I was so exhausted and hungry. Even though now I was on my way to Hanoi, I felt as if I didn't know where I was. All of a sudden, the dark night sky was full of light. I thought I had gone to the moon! Then I realized the brightness of the sky was caused by all of the city lights shining from all over Hanoi. As a young village girl used to living in a straw shack with dirt walls and dirt floors, I was in shock when I saw a whole new world all around me as I walked into the big city. From the dike, I crossed a long bridge that stretched over the river. I didn't know it but I was crossing on the side of the bridge where people who were leaving the city were supposed to walk. A lady who was on her way home from Hanoi stopped me and said, "Little girl, you are going the wrong way.” I asked the la-
dy, "Do you know anyone who needs someone to help with housework?” 'You can come home with me,” the lady replied. I was so relieved. Now I would have a place to eat, sleep and work! The kind lady took me to her home and fed me. Soon I fell fast asleep. The next morning after a breakfast of rice and vegetables, the lady took me to a tailor to order some new clothes for me. Then, she bought me two pairs of shoes, and some combs for my hair. Next, she took me back to her home, shampooed my hair to get rid of the lice, and then put the combs in my hair. When I saw myself in the mirror, I thought I looked like a whole new person. From that point on, I became the lady's housekeeper. Every day, I cooked all the meals for the lady, her husband and nephew, as well as for myself. For all these people, I also washed all the laundry by hand after carrying two full two-gallon buckets of water balanced on a wooden pole over my shoulders up 14 steps to the lady's second floor home. I had to make five one-mile round trips every day to haul water from a pond. Also, every day, I had to go to the market to buy food and carry the groceries back home. Since the lady I worked for didn't even know how to boil water, I also cooked the family's meals. Before she had found me on the bridge the first day I had met her, she had bought
prepared meals from her neighbor. To support her family as well as her husband's opium addiction, the lady bought and sold jewelry and trinkets to buyers in both Vietnam and Cambodia. Her son went to school and her nephew worked. She and her family all slept on a rice mat floor with soft thick blankets, while my bed was on a hard wooden floor with blankets. I lived and worked with this lady and her family for two years during the early days of the division of Vietnam into the North and South. When the lady and her family heard of the fighting that was coming, they decided to move to Cambodia where the lady had a second home. The lady asked me if I wanted to move with them but I told her, “No, I have to stay here in Vietnam and find my brother." Even though I desperately wanted to find him, I realized how helpless I was. With no formal education, I couldn't read. I had no idea who to talk to, or where to go to get help to find my brother whom I had not seen for over seven years. So sadly, I gave up the dream of finding him. After the family left for Cambodia, I lived with and worked for different families in Hanoi. Every family I lived with took advantage of me because I was a young, 14-year old orphan girl. I never stayed very long with any of the families because none of them ever paid me wages so I could
support myself, buy my own clothes, or go to where I wanted to go to find my own home. One of the families who lived in a village just north of Hanoi was a Vietnamese woman married to a French military man. They had two young children whom I took care of in exchange for a place to live and food to eat. One day, the couple went into the city while I stayed at home with their one- and twoyear old daughters. While the children were sleeping, I decided to search the house for money so I could make my escape as soon as possible. While looking through the couple's dresser drawers, I found a small locked wooden box. As I wiggled the tiny lock, it came unclasped and I opened the box to find a bundle of money. I took only two of the paper bills, and then locked the rest of the money back inside the box. I then carefully put the box back into the drawer like I had found it. I stayed a few days longer with the couple to make sure they didn't discover the missing money so they wouldn't come after me. One day while they and their daughters were taking a nap, I took the two bills I had hidden in my pocket and left. I never looked back as I made my way out of their village.

Fishing Report
Fishing surveying at Upper and Lower White Oak Lake this week revealed a number of large bass (some in upward of 7 pounds)
Central Arkansas
Little Red River
(updated 3-282018) Lowell Myers says that Sore Lip’em All Guide Service said that as Greers Ferry Lake returns to near seasonal pool, the Army Corps of Engineers has closed the spillway gates and is regulating the lake level by water release through the two generator turbines. The amount of water release will depend on how much rainfall received throughout the state this week. Hopefully they should begin seeing a decrease of water release and more favorable generation/water release schedule as the lake is maintained around seasonal pool. If you choose to fish high-water conditions, you will want to use long leaders and weight. Concentrate on pools along the banks away from the strong currents. Key for both fly-fish-
ing and Trout Magnet fishing during heavy generation is the ability to get and maintain a good presentation of the fly or Trout Magnet. Working the banks with streamers is also an effective fly-fishing method during high-water conditions. Always check before heading to the Little Red River by calling the Corps of Engineers Little Rock District water data system (501362-5150) for Greers Ferry Dam water release information or check the Corps of Engineers website (swl-wc.usace.army. mil) for real-time water release and the Southwestern Power Administration website (swpa.gov) to see forecasted generation schedule.
Greers Ferry Lake
As of Wednesday, the Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 463.02feet 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 3-282018) Tommy Cauley of Fishfinder Guide Service (501-9401318) said that as of 2:14 pm Tuesday, Greers Ferry Lake was at 462.58 feet msl and falling. It is 0.54 feet above normal pool for a few hours as the rain that was starting to fall heavy will add water to the lake. The Army Corps of Engineers is wanting to keep it 1 foot above normal pool if they can. We should get a rise of about 3 feet from this rain if forecasts hold. The catching overall is good around the lake, about normal for this time of year, as rains and cold fronts affect the overall bite and spawn. The black bass are eating a variety of baits from super shallow out to 45 feet, as some stay shallow all year and some have moved shallower now. They can be caught with spinnerbaits, bladed
jigs, small crankbaits and jigs in shallow water; spinnerbaits, jighead worms and jigs at mid-depth; and Carolina rigs and football heads as well as spoons in deep water. As for crappie, some are shallow, some are middepth and some are still deep. Use jigs or jigs tipped with minnows for most of them; all the deeper fish can be caught in the pole timber slow-rolling a beetle spin. The catfish bite is picking up, Tommy says he’s been told, all around the lake. The hybrid bass and white bass are on and off hour to hour. Some whites have spawned while others have not. Some hybrids are scattered in rivers and creeks, and the rest are staying in lake. The deep bite is more constant at best with spoons, inline spinners and Alabama rigs; for the shallow fish, grubs, inline spinners and small swimbaits are working best. Some walleye are still being caught in the rivers as they are not all done spawning and the lake fish have picked up as well with the clearing water. Stay in the lake for now, then when mud gets there go back to the rivers. Until it happens again, try crankbaits, grubs, jigheads with minnow, drop-shots with small minnow imitation or grubs for the best bite in the lake or rivers. Bream are being seen floating around docks and some even shallow.

Try small crankbaits, grubs or crickets.
Lake Overcup
(updated 3-282018) Johnny “Catfish” Banks at Overcup Bait Shop and R.V. Park (501-3549007) said Wednesday that the water level is high by about 2 feet. Clarity is good, and the surface water temperature is around 58 degrees. Bream are starting to pick up on redworms and crickets. Bass are going well around the brushtops and structure and around the shoreline. Catfish are being caught on jugs and yo-yos with bass minnows and shad. Crappie are good all over the lake, but are still moving around. Anglers aren’t catching limits, but they are catching some good ones. It has slowed down the last couple of days, however.
Brewer Lake
(updated 3-282018) Larry Walters at Bones Bait Shop (501-354-9900) said the water is clear and the level has worked its way back to normal. Surface water temperature on Monday was 52 degrees. Crappie are good on minnows or jigs. Largemouth bass are good and are biting plastic worms. No reports on catfish, bream or white bass.
Arkansas River at Morrilton
(updated 3-282018) Charley’s Hidden Harbor at Op
pelo (501-354-8080) said they have had a few fishermen getting out, but they haven’t had real good luck. “We still have four to six weeks for this pool to really start popping,” Charley said.
Arkansas River (Cadron Pool)
(updated 3-282018) Professional angler Cody Kelley with Best in Bass Guide Service (501733-5282) reports that fishing is pretty good across the board right now. Things are finally heating up to the point that you can go out and really have some fun! Bass are great in the backwaters. We are right on the verge of the spawn. Try your favorite plastics and jigs around backwater wood to locate spawning bass. Some good crappie fishing is going on right now. Crappie can be caught by dipping black/chartreuse jigs and minnows around laydowns and backwater spawning areas. For catfish, check the deep holes just outside of flats. Cody says he prefers cut bait, but you can catch them on many different offerings. Anchor up current of the hole and bottom bounce it back into the good stuff. Best of luck and give us a call to book your spring trip.
