Crappie
Crappie fishing near Cherry Valley, Arkansas, can be quite rewarding, especially in the oxbow lakes and backwaters associated with the St. Francis River. These areas provide the ideal habitat for crappie to thrive. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn. Target submerged brush piles, fallen trees, and creek channels. A minnow under a bobber or a small jig is a deadly combination. A local's secret: many anglers find success trolling slowly with multiple jig poles in the deeper channels during the pre-spawn period. Be sure to check the regulations for creel limits and size restrictions. The crappie in this region can be quite numerous, offering plenty of action for anglers of all skill levels.
