If you're chasing crappie in northern Arkansas, Pyatt offers some excellent opportunities. Bull Shoals Lake, just a short drive away, is renowned for its abundant crappie population. The lake's numerous coves and submerged timber provide ideal habitat for these fish. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into shallower waters to spawn. Focus on areas near brush piles and submerged trees in 5-10 feet of water. A popular technique is using jigs or minnows under a bobber. During the fall months, crappie will school up in deeper water near the main lake channels.
