Dam Store website

Bryce, the website beaverdamstore.com looks like it has been hijacked to a holding page labled ice2017.com. Even google links are redirecting to that page.

I looked it up to get the phone number to call you about the water conditions...will try you later but thought you would want to know about the site as soon as possible and didn't have an email address for you directly.

Report 10/22

feeds@yuku.com (Scott Branyan) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:29:41 GMT

Beaver tailwater has fished pretty well the past couple of days with Table Rock getting down under 919 now. Very restricted wade fishing still. Afternoon generation pattern has been broken with occasional morning generation over the past week. Water came on at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday. It ran from 5:00 a.m. to around 8:00 a.m. Wednesday morning and was off for the rest of the day.

Dark woolly buggers have been working well. Also a good variety of nymphs fished deep about 6-8 feet under an...

Report for 10-14

feeds@yuku.com (davek) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:57:10 GMT

Fished below Beaver in my kick boat starting about 9:30 and finishing about 3:30. I worked my way from Parker up past the turn around to the steps in the campground. The short story is that the fishing was slow but enjoyable. I experimented with several different patterns at various depths but didn't catch more than two at any one spot. My top fly (which I didn't tie on until 2:00) was a diamond midge fished at about 6 ft deep. I did...

Itching for the Bite

feeds@yuku.com (zackro) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:46:14 GMT

Nice job excavating those trout-hungry striper from the river fellars. From the sounds of it the river seems to have come down closer to normal than when i was there last. I make it to spider creek twice a year but have had to fish spider tablerock the last few seasons. Really jonesing to catch some trout, hopefully table rock lake has gone down, so I can go back to my normal fall routine. Liked reading all the posts FISH ON!

Tailwater suprise

feeds@yuku.com (jsmartt) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:43:48 GMT

A fishing buddy and I were fly fishing the artificials only area below beaver dam last Saturday and did quite well with olive wolly buggers. About mid afternoon we decided to call it quits and began working our way up river to the walk in access just upstream from the new log cabin. We stopped for a few casts at the big hole just below the cabin. (the hole is not as big as it used to be since a lot of gravel has washed into it from the high water earlier this spring and summer). Anyway as...

Beaver Tailwaters Report 9-5-09

feeds@yuku.com (zhoyt) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 08:31:24 GMT

Lots of canoe traffic has had fish on the tailwaters rather skittish. They are still catchable though. Weather has been very nice to us with mild temperatures and comfortable amounts of rainfall. The water below the damn is starting to lower back to normal levels with the other Dam Systems on the White unloading their water. The fish have been feeding well this spring and summer, so they are nice a plump. Guys using spincast gear should try a smaller rainbow or brown trout colored rebel hard...

Sad but true. Ken and I fished Beaver Saturday morning and found some good amounts of this stuff floating around.

beaver report 08-16-09

feeds@yuku.com (Drifter) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:58:38 GMT
Beaver tailwaters is a little high from Table Rock. Wading is tough at the crossings. Why is the best places on the other side of the river. The clients were mainly spin fishing. The fish were mostly K-Mart fish and would follow the plugs to the boat and turning off. Guess they were waitnig for the blue light special. We really need more Walmary fish in there. They buy (bite) any thing. At crane roost bluff the fihing picked up and they tried some fly fishing after I picked up 5 fish in about...

Beaver Drawn Down Complete

feeds@yuku.com (Scott Branyan) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:33:25 GMT
Beaver lake is back to normal managed lake level. Generation was shut down today until around 2:00 p.m.

Table Rock is slightly high and this will make crossing the river in areas impossible until TR comes down a little more. Paving operations are still ongoing this week and the road from Bertrand to Parker Bend is still closed.

I was on the tailwater last evening and again this morning. Fishing was not spectacular. Some nice fish in the slot limit and throughout the...

Drawdown flows

feeds@yuku.com (Scott Branyan) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 08:08:27 GMT
The past couple of the days, the Corps has been cutting back to one unit mid-day. This is creating great fishing flows for a few hours early afternoon. I fished the tailwater Tuesday. Fishing was slow for my novices, but things ought to be improving as the pattern continues. Several canoeing groups were out. With both units running, it's hard to fly-fish as the depth is deeper than normal for this time of year with Table Rock being high. Experienced high water fishermen will be able to...

Beaver Drawdown Likely to Start This Weekend

feeds@yuku.com (Scott Branyan) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:29:51 GMT
Bull Shoals is forecast to be under two feet of flood storage [the level required in the water managment plan before Beaver can be drawn down] this weekend, and Beaver should start to generate around-the-clock--perhaps late Saturday into Sunday, or starting sometime Sunday.

No FLW on Beaver for 2010

feeds@yuku.com (zhoyt) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:52:04 GMT

I wasnt sure how many of you knew or would care, but there will be no FLW Tournament next year. They decided to move it to Lake Quachita. I think the big bass boats get obnoxious on the water during the tourney, but it was a big source of revenue for the city and local businesses. Here are a few articles about the subject:

Beaver Tailwaters 7-26-09

feeds@yuku.com (Drifter) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:02:45 GMT
Carol and I fishesd Beaver yesterday and the water was low and clear. The fish were very spooky of everything. Flies, leader, indicators, canoes, etc.
Caught 4 fish from the bathhouse to the turnaround. There was no hot fly but all were caught on flies smaller than #18. Had to go to #22 scud for last two.

If I had been AGFC enforcement, I could have written at least ten tickets in two hours. There were people with too many fish, keeping slot fish, bait fishing in the no bait...

July 4th Weekend Report

feeds@yuku.com (zhoyt) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 07:06:17 GMT
Water releases are still light with low water all morning until about 1:00 pm. Fly fishing has been good with very healthy fish being caught. Lately the fish have been hugging the bottom. You have to get your fly down. The hot flies have been Copper Johns, beadhead scuds in gray and peacock and various colors of zebra midges with black/silver and gray/gold being the favorites. Small woolly buggers in olive have been working also.

Fishing over the holidays?

Hey guys:
Is anyone going to fish Beaver Tailwaters this weekend?

June 28, 2009

feeds@yuku.com (zhoyt) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:02:00 GMT
With all the warm weather, fishing and boating on the Tailwaters has been very active. Hot weather and Cloudless skies usually dictate good morning and evening fishing., but with heavy activity at both those times, afternoon fishing can be very productive. Fish are very picky and can be spooky. For the fly fisherman, smaller sizes in flies are the choice. Olive sowbugs, pink scuds, hares ear nymphs, and copper johns in sizes 18-20. Setting these up about 6-8' under an indicator is the...

Beaver Lake Forecast for July

feeds@yuku.com (Scott Branyan) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 10:33:03 GMT
The Corps anticipates having Beaver Lake down to conservation pool by August 5th. If that forecast holds, look for generation with both units running 24/7 starting sometime after July 20th. Until then enjoy the status quo with some good wade fishing opportunities in the mornings.
