Aint never been to Beaver Lake, but I bet its comparable to Ouachita, Degray, and Greeson. Clearer water and definately different to fish than the stained to muddy lakes lots have to fish in. Get out there next Jan/fFeb in bout 100’ water and catch those big ole roaming crappie. PS Our Arkansas clearwater lake Crappie sure taste better than those caught out of mudholes too!!
