That is good news. I wasn't sure how the lower part of the river looked, but it is running hard here at Fort Smith. Good decision......

Very good decision, I know I have been watching the flows closely and it was definetly going to dictate whether I fished it or not come Friday. The way they have been getting rain in OK it was almost impossible for them to plan what the flows were going to be. I was actually thinking they did good to cancel it this far in advance. I know we got dang lucky last week that it came down just long enough to get a TNT in.
How did y'all do in the TNT? I was fishing out of Burns Park the same time it was goin on, but not in the tournament. I would have thrown my money away if I had.
If you don't mind me asking, did you catch them in backwater or the main river? Even though the flow was way down, it was still pretty bad swift.
I went out there yesterday and fished my way up a small creek. The water was muddy even way up the creek. When I finally made it up to where it started to clear, I was into the more stagnant gar and carp water. Something's got to give out there. It's been nearly 2 months!
Its been moved again, August 3, 4 & 5th now.
Would you believe August 10,11,&12 now.
anybody want to start a pool on whether or not this thing actually happens this year??
I believe it will happen, but it probably won't be mid August...might be September by the time it comes around
I do feel the big bass will come from the Dardanelle Pool this year

What is the biggest bass caught in the Dardanelle Pool so far this year?
I want to say I remember hearing about a 10 something caught in a tourny early spring this year up there. There's a 9.48 on the Lunker page at get5bass that was caught up there in March.

That's true...10 lbs is the biggest I know of
I will probably be out of Dumas, but isn't it getting affected pretty bad by the high water? Cause Dardanelle is hardly being affected at all
Then again I've never been down around Dumas so I don't know what it's like down there...
lots of backwater down there David, I dont expect this flow is hurting it too bad. Dardanelle will have its share of big fish, but I would put my money on the Dumas pool for the winner.
They done it again,now it August 17,18 & 19. I can't fish it because of work. Yea I get a refund for the Fee but what about the "other stuff" they have you buy?(shirts,caps,etc.)
