Next on to Yellville and Crooked Creek at the city
park boat ramp . Crooked Creek is a highly rated sm
bass creek . There is a lot of diversity here when the
creek isn't being ugly . Flash flood/very low water
sometimes at this location. It should be late lunch
time when done .
Then to Harrison and a more upstream section of
Crooked creek . A weir backs up crooked creek to make
a city lake . Below Harrison lake is a generally low
water section of Crooked Creek . Above the lake is a
generally deeper section which snorkelers / hip waders
should enjoy . It will be interesting to compare the
diversities of the three areas .
Back to Lead Hill and either call it a day or there
are more collection areas near by .
Those staying at Captain Jacks resort will be able to
sample 3 Finger Cove at their leisure . I have no
connection with them . Its just near by .
For those who can stay more than one day there is
plenty more collecting/sampling both locally and to
the SW and E as well as over the boarder in Missouri .
We will be joined by Brian Wagner nongame aquatics
biologist / Arkansas , Mark Oliver district fisheries
biologist / Arkansas and Russell T. Johnson of The
Arkansas Roadside Travelogue web site .It has
fascinating feature stories on Arkansas .
Everything is subject to change . Thats life .
