Comment:	When fishing these Arkansas Ozarks clear water fisheries, you will need to use a line that is a light green in color and no larger than 6 to 8 pound test! The clear waters require the use of the right line color and size to avoid spooking the fish.Some fishing regulations are different in Missouri and Arkansas portions of Bull Shoals Lake. If you are fishing near the Arkansas/Missouri border, make sure you have a fishing license from both states, and that you are aware of each state’s regulations. The best lures for crappie are tube jigs, Roadrunners and Chromedomes. Live minnows are also good.The best lures for bass are jig and frog (weedless), Texas-rigged plastic worms, and spinner baits. Sluggos work good fished across the tops. Walleye are strongly associated with the fish attractors and usually patrol the spaces between the bundles or on the edges of the attractors. Catfish,bluegills and redear sunfish also use the brushpiles and can be caught near the bottom with worms and crickets.Fly fishing is gaining popularity among Arkansas trout anglers, particularly on the White, North Fork and Little Red. Some favorite wet patterns include red squirrel tail nymphs, sowbugs, Woolly Buggers, sculpins and softshell crayfish. Effective natural baits include night crawlers, crawfish, sculpins and waxworms. Many anglers tip a marabou jig with a waxworm for an effective combination. Other popular baits are Velveeta cheese, marshmallows, canned corn, salmon eggs and commercial baits such as Power Bait.
