    Default Greers Ferry Lake Fisheries Management Plan Meeting


    The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission will hold a public meeting from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday, February 28, at the Heber Springs Community Center to gather public input for the new Greers Ferry Lake Fisheries Management Plan.

    Biologists will include presentations of recent research and fisheries-related management of the lake, including the current status of the fish population, results from the recent angler creel survey, habitat projects and threadfin shad stockings to boost the lake’s forage base.

    Attendees will then be able to participate in focus groups to help identify the things most important to them as the AGFC moves forward in developing the management plan.

    Fisheries biologists will gather the results of all focus groups and build upon the plan with these findings. This will result in a draft of a new plan that will guide fisheries management activities on Greers Ferry for the next five years.

    A second meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. March 19, to review a draft of the plan with opportunity for additional input.

    The Heber Springs Community Center is located at 201 Bobbie Jean Lane, Heber Springs, Arkansas.

    Hey Factory - I don’t think we have a mechanism for providing meeting notes on line. We will be taking angler input in the 1st meeting and incorporating these suggestions into a draft management plan that will be presented at the second meeting. Once completed, the management plan will be available on line.

    You could always call me at the office to see what people suggested after the first meeting.

    Wish there was some planning in place for the forgotten little NEA

    We've got mallard ,houge, and ashbaugh to fish and I doubt there's been a discussion on them in years.

    Throw in the disaster of lake Poinsett...
    The infamous Bono lake farce...
    And let's not forget horseshoe,
    Someone should have asked a fisherman some input before they went in there and put a dock square in the middle of the ramp with I-beams to crash your junk into. SMH
    My handi cap buddy drags his trailer on the crest of the ramp in and out every time.
    A little planning goes a long ways !!
