BAILEY'S BEAVER LAKE GUIDE SERVICE(479)366-8664 The cold front really got Beaver Lake striper on the prowl! The striper fishing has been good with numbers of fish taken on live shad fished on lightly weighted balloon lines trolled 50-100ft back and down riggers with rapala's 10-20ft deep and there has been some top water action from BIG fish! The stripers are active most of the day with peaks around sunrise, sunset and during generation! White bass are beginning to school on the surface as well!

Fish location is greatly influenced by lake level and current flow, current in the lake from generation will generally position fish on upstream or down stream edges of structure...check the daily lake level and flow data link or the SWPA power generation link on my web site.
Live shad as always on Beaver Lake when fishing for Trophy Stripers is the go to approach. Stripers are hitting shad in the 4-14 inch range. If you want a big fish try a shadzilla in the 10-14 inch range!
