Shows how a word here or there can send us somewhere else. Is it being male or our age?
NO Problem,,,,,,just funny This is the most replies I ever had to a post !!!
we are the first in the history of mankind to communicate in this manner.Maybe we just don't know what we are doing yet? We went from rotary dial phones to push button phones to cell phones,to internet,to.......in a mere whisker thin span of time considering.Heck ,indians sometimes made the same kind of arrowhead for thousands of years without changing.People fished the same way for thousands of years,now look...
Dardanelle is the problem, not your tree anchoring. In most lakes cover will stay put unless somebody moves it for you. The water in Lake Dardanelle sloshes in and out of the bays, up and down the river like tides in a big dish pan. It's really evident at the bottlenecks......tubes,bridges,pits,wingdams....Ba ck too the highjacking.

If you weight them properly and not in direct current (creek channel or choke point like bridge or other current funnel) they should stay. I have sunken brush in Dardanelle and it has stayed. I use concrete and rocks or old real concrete blocks to hold them. Some are on channel drops just not near anything like bridges that constrict currents. But also I have put them in the river at Nimrod and most stay in bends even more so if there are stumps to help hold them . The thing I have trouble getting to stay in place is bamboo because it catches lots of current and also takes extra weight because it holds air and floats . If you use Cedar trees try drying and/or burning to remove needles, they work better faster and don't catch as much current . I like bigger trees with just few bigger limbs over thick stuff Crappie can't move through and only use the edges . As a rule of thumb nothing you can't put a 8'' square block through . This allows fish access to the entire cover not just edges .:twocents
how bout adding remarking the trails to that wish list so they can actually be followed. some are pretty bad. I have fished Conway since the 60's when I worked at Josh' Landing (which is no longer there, but used to be next to Lawrence) in the summers while playing football at SCA (now UCA) 67-71.
