The recent rain, totaling two and a half inches, has caused the lake to rise above power pool levels. As a result, the Army Corps of Engineers is operating two generators 24/7 to manage the water levels. This generation schedule is expected to continue until Greers Ferry lake reaches normal pool levels, which is projected by the USACE Little Rock App for March 25th.
Given the current water conditions, Mike is launching his boat at JFK Park and using a deep water nymph rig set at depths ranging from 6ft to 12ft depending on the river depth. He’s having success with a Pink San Juan Worm with split shot above it. Additionally, the streamer bite has been good under the current generation schedule. Mike recommends trying Double Deceivers in White or Yellow and Brown, casting towards the bank and varying your retrieve to entice bites.
