DeGray LakeFor the most updated lake level at DeGray Lake, click here.updated 5-1-2025 Capt. Darryl Morris of Family Fishing Trips (501-844-5418) continues to do most of his fishing at and reporting from lakes Ouachita, Hamilton and DeGray, and says, The crappie and bass are finishing up their spawn or already in post-spawn. We are catching limits of crappie stacked up on brushpiles fished 8-12 feet deep in 18-24 feet of water. update 5-1-2025 AGFC staff visited DeGray Lake last Sunday and reported that the lake had fish around brush and that the grass was prominent. The black bass bite was OK, with the best bite coming on wacky-rigged soft-plastic worms in green pumpkin color. updated 4-24-2025 John Duncan of YoYo Guide Service (870-942-6291 or [email protected]) at Iron Mountain Marina says, Hello, fisher people. Spring is upon us. The lake is slowly coming back to near normal levels. Currently the lake is at 407.68 feet msl and dropping. Yea! The lake has had quite a bit of debris floating around. Most started around Lenox Marcus and upriver. Sorry to say that very little new information is coming in to me. The water will be in the normal range for crappie this Thursday or Friday. The crappie have been on the bed but very difficult to get to. Water has been so high that you could not get a boat of any size into the shallow areas that people like to fish. The crappie spawn should still be going on. So, get your slip bobbers, casting rigs, minnows and lures and work the shoreline as best as you can. Change colors and size often until you get a pattern. Some of the better areas this time of year are Lenox Marcus, Arlie Moore and Point Cedar. Brushy is always good for casting jigs to the shoreline.If you are casting jigs, keep them close to the bottom. Hopefully the water will stabilize and we can get into the shallows to fish the spawning fish.
