Pool 13

Pool 13 is a reservoir in Sebastian County, Arkansas; if i only had a few hours, i would give one manageable area a fair chance so the first visit makes the second one easier.

What the record says before you load the gear: before a bigger move

When I am checking the basics, i would look at current arkansas fishing rules and any managing-agency notices and leave the rest of the day flexible.

The short version without filling gaps: without the fluff

After the first few minutes of looking around, i would give one section enough time to teach me something instead of chasing a secret spot that may not exist.

What we know if you are new here: before you settle in

The current fish list includes Black Crappie, Blue Catfish, Bluegill, Brook Silverside, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Freshwater Drum, Gizzard Shad, Golden Shiner, Grass Carp, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass, plus 10 other recorded species; the species on record help define the day because it keeps the page tied to this exact water, and a narrow target list usually makes the first day more enjoyable.

The starting point from the current record: without chasing theories

The hard facts I would actually plan around are 6,820 acres and 59,100 acre-feet of storage, which is a clean baseline that leaves the unknowns alone; the simple version is the honest version.
