Crappie
If you're looking for crappie near Fayetteville, Arkansas, you're in luck. Northwest Arkansas is home to Beaver Lake, a renowned crappie fishery. Beaver Lake's deep, clear waters and abundant structure make it an ideal habitat for both black and white crappie. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow coves and creek arms to spawn. Focus on brush piles, submerged timber, and docks in 5-15 feet of water. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits.
