    Hey Dunfly –

    Probably either November, when the browns are spawning and all the fish in the river crowd the shoals to eat the eggs, or in February, when the shad kill comes through the Dam and the big fish rise to flesh flies.

    Tim –

    You should be able to attach them at the bottom of every post window (although this software only allows one pic per post currently).

    The first mile or so of the State Park is closed right now for the spawn and will be until like January 31st or something.

    Wonderful photos all. Welcome back Zach.

    The Bull Shoals state park C&R area extends for .8 mile down from the dam to the wingdike at the state park trout dock. It is closed for the spawn.

    The statepark area from the wingdike to somewhere below Big Spring becomes a seasonal catch and release area during that closure and is closed to night fishing just like Cow Shoals on the Little Red.

    I found out today Game and Fish has redesigned their website http://www.agfc.com
    and all their material is not back up yet. But their trout reg book with the maps and everything should be back up soon–I hope. I’ll have to redo all my links to their site as their redesign broke everything.

    Happy Holidays,
    Scott

    Hey Scott –

    The new AGFC website is awesome. I spend a lot of time delving DNR sites around the country for a column I do in American Angler and I can say without hesitation that the Arkansas one is the best.

    Can you answer a question for me Scott?
