War Eagle Creek, AR Fishing Report

no report this week

Just Fishing Guides said the water is 0.85 feet near Huntsville. The rivers and streams are near their seasonal averages. Be prepared to walk and drag your boat quite a bit. With the warm weather the last week, water temperatures are in the upper 40’s in the morning to near 60 degrees in the afternoon on warmer days. We have had two rain events that have helped the ground water and river levels a bit. Get ready to fish slow and deep for smallmouth.

Just Fishing Guides said the level at the Hindsville gauge as of Wednesday was 0.88 and 36 cfs. If you’re willing to hike, you can reach long pools that are full of fish! Clousers, Shenks Streamer, KC’s Ozark Slider and Crazy Dads are all working well. Also, try large hopper and dragon fly patterns on top. Whit’s Hopper and Whitlock’s Gorilla Dragonfly are cool patterns to try, as well as Sneaky Pete’s, Gurglers in white or chartreuse, and Boogle Bullets. The top-water bite with flies is really going gangbusters. Spotted bass are holding near woody debris. Smallmouth bass are in the deeper channels. Sunfish have been caught with about anything that hits the water. Small poppers, woolly buggers, spiders, beetles and hoppers are raking in the sunfish. Sometimes it is hard not to catch them. Spin fishing has picked up fish with white or gray Flukes, 4-inch Zoom lizards in watermelon red and tube baits in green pumpkinseed. Crank baits, buzz baits and spinners have worked well also.

Just Fishing Guides said most of the Ozark streams are about 20 percent of their normal flows for this time of year. Be prepared to walk and drag your boat quite a bit. We have had spotty, scattered showers but not enough to make any difference. All of the rivers have fallen in the last week. All are at or near record lows for the date and all time. However, warmwater streams and rivers have been fishing very well lately in both quantity and quality. Fly-fishing has been good with good with baitfish patterns, Bogle Bugs in white, Tequeely Streamers, wooly buggers, Clouser minnows. The top water bite with flies is really going gangbusters.

Loy Lewis from War Eagle Canoe (479-530-3262) said the water is clear and floatable from Withrow Springs state park to War Eagle Mills. Largemouth bass are good on topwater lures and black buzzbaits. Smallmouth bass are good on small jigging spoons and spinnerbaits in the current. Catfishing is good on stinkbait and bream at night.
