Don`t let this cooler weather scare you off. “Never bad weather, just bad clothing,” an outfitter told me long years ago.

Stripers are fair/good depending on the day. Look from Prairie Creek toward Horseshoe Bend and back down toward the dam area. Stripers are moving daily and will end up toward Point 12 in a month or so and will hang around that area throughout the winter.

Hannah Stokes hooked up on this one to bring out the smiles. She had some help locating the fish with Hooked on Fishing, LLC guide service on Beaver Lake. Call Xieng (479) 225-4849 for your Striper or Crappie fishing needs. Look them up on Facebook or web page, tell them Lisa sent you.

Trout fishing has been constant. Nightcrawlers are still strong. Spoons in a larger size, mainly so you can throw them farther.

Guide Austin Kennedy implores, “Folks who are fly-fishing or wade fishing, please keep an eye on the water levels while fishing. If you notice a flow, be prepared to place yourself in a position where you can exit the water safely.

“Inspiration Point Fire Department has already had to do some river rescues due to individuals not paying attention to the release horn and getting stranded on gravel bars in the river. You can download the USACE app for your cell phone to get the generation schedule.”

Also, a good number to program in your phone is Inspiration Point Fire Department (479) 253-1656 when fishing or floating the river for emergencies.
