    Default Bear Creek - AR


    Has anyone fished Bear Creek this time of year? In similar cold conditions? If so would you mind telling what did and didn't work? Best places on the lake to fish etc. Any information would be helpful and appreciated.

    No Bear Creek in NE AR. There are a few other posts about the lake on here but not around this time of year.

    I've seen several crappie fishermen trolling the last week or so, but haven't talked to them nor seen them catch any. I do know that several bass fishermen caught big (12") crappie with crankbaits casting to the brush tops. They caught theirs at the upper end of the lake (Taylor's Pasture). Bet you could do well jigging around the 'tops. Bass fishing hasn't been really good for me this fall. I think most bream fishermen have quit for the year--not that you couldn't catch any if you fished deep.

    Most of the crappie being caught right now are being caught trolling (spider rigging). That came from a friend that has a house on the lake. But those tops might be good to as my information came from a person that would rather troll than jig fish. I'd go prepared to do both.

    I don't fish it due to the 9.9 restriction and the "disabling" of a motor bigger than 9.9 hp .

    Hope you catch a cooler full!

    In the St. Francis Forest. Bear Creek Lake and Storm Creek Lake are in there. Couple of those hidden lakes up on the ridge. I quit fishing it years ago when I had to argue with an enforcement person because i did not (1) take the fuel tank out of my boat and/or (2) remove the prop from my outboard. I think it is a stupid rule. I think it should be idle only on all motors. I was told that all would not abide....

    It's easier to just stay out of there for me. Plenty more water to fish....
