Lake Dardanelle: Early Bird Outfitters said the lake is slightly stained and the water temperature is around 52 degrees. Bream are starting to come up and are biting well on small nightcrawlers and crickets. Crappie are biting well throughout the lake. The best depths range from 18 inches in the grass to channel swings around 9 feet deep. Fishing for black bass has been hit-or-miss. Catfihsing is good on chicken livers and cut bait. Hybrid and white bass are being caught on shad-colored and white crankbaits across the current.
