That's great. Can't wait to try it. Thanks a lot. That will sure get me started.

Iron Fork is just down the road from my house. I've been there a couple times just taking the grandkids swimming. I didn't think there were many fish because I didn't see many people there. I will try it out. That would be great if I find some fish there being so close to my house. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I just noticed you are the same one that posted about little fir. I will definitely try it out as well. I've never caught a walleye. I will be trying that for sure. It's only 40 miles from my house. Thanks again.

Thank you. First I've heard of Lake Hinkle. I'll check it out.

Thank you Gorden. Those are some nice catches. I have fished many years for catfish in lake conroe, North of Houston. I live in Mena AR now and really want to find a good place for crappie close by. I won't turn down catching catfish though. I'll probably have a line or two out while crappie fishing. Looks like DeGray lake is about 2 hours, so I might have to give it a try.

I read all the Arkansas reports I could find but didn't see anything on the western side of Arkansas. Looking for mostly catfish and crappie? It's a little early for spring but thought I would start getting prepared.

Mike from Texas. Just moved to Mena Arkansas. Looking for a lake to catch mostly crappie and catfish. Like catching all other fish as well just I know nothing about these lakes close to Mena Arkansas. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
