Beaver Lake   As of Tuesday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports the lake’s elevation at 1,119.58 feet MSL (Normal conservation pool - 1,120 MSL).   Bailey’s Beaver Lake Guide Service (479-366-8664) had no report.   JT’s Crappie Guide Service (479-640-3980) said bass can be caught using crawdad-colored Wiggle Warts along sloping chunk rock banks. Fish have also been holding along pole timber close to bluff lines and can be picked off using a green pumpkin jig and craw. Crappie have been biting well on sunny, warm days. Fish have been suspending above brush piles close to a channel in 18 to 35 feet of water.  Fish will come close to the surface on warmer days and can be caught as shallow as 5 feet below the surface. Best baits have been black/chartreuse or pink/white swim baits on a 1/32 oz. jig head vertically jigged above the brush or under a cork 5 to 7 feet deep. Blue Springs, Monte-NE, Friendship Creek and Hickory Creek have all been good places to fish. White bass have been schooling on main lake flats and points. Slow trolling a bandit crankbait in these areas has been most productive. Catfishing is best late in the day from the bank using liver or worms. Hickory Creek, 12 and 412 bridge have all been good places to fish.   Southtown Sporting Goods (479-443-7148) said the water is clear and at normal level. Bream are slow. Crappie are fair on minnows and jigs in 8 to 12 feet of water. Bass are biting well on crankbaits and Alabama-rigged swimbaits. Stripers are biting well on balloon rigs and live shad. Catfishing is slow.
