ARKANSAS RIVER Stripers can be found from the Oklahoma border to the Mississippi River in the
Arkansas River, a distance of 310 miles. Stripers concentrate in the tailwaters
of the 12 dams that divide the river into pools making stripers eaiser to find.
A deal in the 70s by AGFC Riley Donahoo and fisheries biologist Andrew Hulsey
had fingerling Striped Bass flown in from South Carolina and put into the newly
formed lake Dardanelle.They thrived reproduced and migrated up and down stream.
The
Arkansas River now supports a naturally reproducing population
of striped bass, which, along with the Red River makes the two
rivers the only known water in Arkansas to have natural reproduction.
