Hello all, enjoy the good with the bad, the weather has been sooo… bad one day and then we have had some gorgeous days, also. The wind has not been our friend lately.
In Beaver Lake, stripers, I hear, will be located in the Prairie Creek area. Crappie will be loaded up on structure 15-30 ft. deep. Before the cold, crappie were in three feet of water. So crappie are going move up and down with temps going up and down as they have been.
This week is going to be a fiasco. Coming in on Wednesday freezing rain, Thursday forecast wintery mix and low of 11°. Get the wood in.
In the White River, the Beavertail water fishing is fabulous these days. Love this time of the year. We have a little mix of different species that are not always in our home waters all year. Pictured here is one of my sweet daughters, Lindsay Carlsen, and my husband, Rich Carlsen, Love the picture and the smile.
There is something that everyone needs to be aware of these days when fishing below Beaver Lake dam, on the White River, is the horn is not working at the dam, it is the horn at the dam that tells you when to get out of the water for your safety. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers posted this for our information.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is alerting everyone downstream of Beaver Dam that the warning horn that sounds before a change in water levels is currently not working. USACE is aware of the danger this presents and is urging anyone downstream of the dam to pay close attention to the water levels as they could rise and fall rapidly.
The Beaver Project Office is working to get the horn back online. There is currently no timeline for when it will be repaired or replaced.
With no warning horn, there are a few things you can keep your eye on to tell if water is going up or down. If you are wade fishing take a dollar bill and put a rock on the edge of the waterline. Often look over at the dollar bill and you will see it covering up when water is coming up. Then is the time to make a good decision to go to higher ground.
People who have boats have to seek out a log or rock sticking out of the water, sometimes a shoreline, and keep a close eye on the water line.
We would love to take you out on the boat either sightseeing or out to catch that fish of a lifetime or just bring home some dinner. Whatever you choose, give us a call to start your adventure. Look us up at Custom Adventure Guide Service for more pictures and videos on Facebook or give us a call (479) 363-9631. Remember bundle those kids up and take them fishing.
