Crappie
If you're chasing crappie in northern Arkansas, Harrison is a great jumping-off point. Bull Shoals Lake and Crooked Creek are both within easy driving distance and offer excellent crappie fishing. Bull Shoals, in particular, is known for its deep, clear water, which can mean that crappie suspend at various depths depending on the season. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn, congregating around submerged timber and brush piles in the backs of creeks. A simple jig under a bobber is deadly then. Later in the year, you'll need to locate them deeper, often near submerged structure or along the thermocline. Tipping your jig with a minnow can help entice bites in deeper water. For bank access, Crooked Creek offers several easily accessible spots along Highway 62/412. Be aware that Bull Shoals can fluctuate significantly in water level, so check lake conditions before you head out.
