I actually fished the whole Lake. I hired a guide named Johnny Gantz for about four days spread out through the month to help me learn the lake. The house I rented is in Monte Ne. This is right in the heart of the April spawning area. My boat has a 275 Verado and a special wind screen I designed.

Sounds like you had a great time! My wife and I went up there in July and she caught a 20 pounder. The lake and it's surroundings are breathtaking!
Would Love to drive up there and fish with you one weekend!

Would Love to drive up there and fish with you one weekend! You guys should go. Jim is a great friend. I went last fall when he was there and what a trip. The cabin is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Your wife will love it. I hope to get back there if my schedule will allow it. Jim is also going to Fort Myers Florida and will be fishing for Tarpon in May and June. This will be on my list also.

My first striper caught my first morning on Beaver Lake. 18lbs caught on a Super Spook. All my fish were caught on top water lures.

I like your planning and strategy, JWB . You got the timing and contacts down. I bet you will catch a monster trophy this Spring. Looking forward to see your AR report

There are stripers by the dam at certain times of the year. When I am going in April they are on the other end of the lake where I have rented a house. Jim

My friend Tony at Beaver Lake. He is president of the Northwest Arkansas Striper Club. Tony will be fishing with us in April and keeping us up to date on what's going on at the lake. This is a fish he caught last week.

The house I have rented for the month of April has three bedrooms and is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever stayed in. You are welcome to bring your wife or GF. She will love the house and the beautiful area where the house is located. You can take a day trip to Eureka Springs a really neat town on the other end of Beaver Lake.

One month till I will be fishing on Beaver Lake. I still have some spots left. I have designed a wind screen for my Bay Boat that blocks the wind and rain. It folds out of the way for quick accessibility to the front deck. My boat is very comfortable and has electronics front and back. I have a 112 I Pilot on the bow.

Have you caught any walleyes at Beaver? I've heard the walleye population is getting pretty good since they started stocking them a few years back.
