WALLEYE
Hot spot: Greers Ferry Lake
Guide Cody Smith says, "We've got a great walleye bite going on at Greers Ferry right now, it's gonna run through December. I've got a good rig for it, it's a live bait, drag it across secondary channels and main lake points up on the lake. If you've got any questions about it, contact me at FishGreersFerry.com or call me on my cell phone at (501) 691-5701 to set up a trip for you or your family."

NOTE: All lakes are still 8 to 10 feet low. Be on the lookout for stumps and underwater humps. A great time to carry a video recorder to capture some great fishing spots when the lakes are normal.
