a little park and huck for the russellville area folks... dont know if this had ever been run before today, a buddy that fishes tipped me off on it. lots of pin potential if you ran the far left line. if you hit it, hit it right where i am in the photo... the bottom ledge on the far left line will hurt you and probably pin you vertically.

not sure, i think it was a little lower then they would have liked to do it at, but they definitely said it was good to go. i think josh said "the best roadside creek you could ask for", but you can tell it looks sweet from the videos. i passed on it because i have a night class, big mistake, im regrettin that for sure...

and yeah thats lake ola... haha... ive passed through their so many times without ever knowing there was even a lake there. one day a buddy called me while he was fishing and said he found something i need to take my kayak over... thats a friend for ya

it was higher than 1st d level today, lower than when ray and I got hammered and much lower than yesterday! :wink: It still was super fun and the chief was a perfect optimal/low level(4++ not 5)I agree about the quality, this baby will make for STRONG cen. ark. creek boaters!Feel super lucky to have discovered south cedar. :D Carpool if you want to go and know how to get there.Try to spend as little time getting stuff together in plain view,etc.Lets try to not post the exact local(word of mouth is fine and still works,network a lil people!) keep it on the DL so to speak,please lets not screw up our access.In fact if you do know where it is and are in enough of fire it up mood to go, please check w/ the caretaker to be sure and not screw up a memorial service.Access is lil shaky at best so be respectful of their wishes and Im sure we can enjoy it for a long time.Step on toes or get hurt bad duping out/make a scene and access will be cut off quickly i am certain! Not trying to discourage anyone from using this new resource just hoping access will last if we kinda limit our numbers,be safe, respectful and dont wear out our welcome. Nice drop jjonesy! :clap:

Looks like it was spillway day for Arkansas. Team Stupid fired up Horsehead and Paris today. Congrats on the new one in Rville! Next time we'll make it a tripple crown!

And I've fished that for years! At one time, the state record crappie came outta there. Always could come out with a mess of bream.
