Just act like you’re casting a fishing rod. Most common fishing rods are between 6 and 7 feet long, the distance the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend to space apart from others in pub- lic. Of course, the best way to practice this technique is to get outside and enjoy some angling. And there’s no better time to get outside than this week. Lake Maumelle white bass run The white bass have begun to move into the creeks that feed reservoirs where they spend most of the year. This is the best time of year to find concentrations of this feisty fighter, and one of the best places to try is Lake Ronnie Beau Brown and Auburn Brown Maumelle just west of Little Rock. The lake is fed by the with their signs and masks for Maumelle River, and anglers can reach some of the best the March 26th parade through white bass locations by taking a short walk from Sleepy Glenwood.

Lake Catherine walleye Spring walleye runs are at their peak right now, and you won’t find a better time to catch these tasty fish con- centrated in the upstream arms of some of Arkansas’s larger reservoirs. The area just below Carpenter Dam is a perfect location to catch a few of these nighttime preda- tors during their spawning run. The dam prevents the fish from going any further upstream, so many will congre- gate along the rocks just below it to conduct their spawn- ing ritual. While walleye are a big target for northern and midwestern anglers, they really never have taken off ex- cept as a temporary target in southern impoundments. To cash in on the walleye run, anglers should try to fish in the early morning and late evening, and even at night. The walleye have a special reflective membrane in their large eyes that allow them to see in low-light much better than bass or crappie. As a result, some of the best feed- ing times for these fish is just after the sun goes down. Anglers should cast stickbaits like Smithwick Rattling Rogues, Storm Thundersticks and the Original Floating Rapala along the face of the rocks, where walleye will be looking for a meal.

Our current quarantined status has done its fair share of lowering the market; however, many factors play into our current market drop. Any cattleman will tell you; it just happens. Budgets are a must in the production agri- culture sector. We must also implement best management practices so we are efficient in our operations. One of those practices is vaccinations and deworming. Opera- tions will be required in a few years to get a prescription for all antibiotics. This, combined with the current VFD requirement, elevates the implementation of proactive husbandry practices. The Cooperative Extension Service provides several vaccination guides on our website, uaex.edu. One of these guides is FSA3009. Annual vaccinations recom- mended for bulls and cows include- IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV, 5-Way Lepto, and Vibro. Additionally, you may wish to administer Trich and 7-Way Blackleg. For pre- weaned calves, we recommend 7-Way Blackleg, IBR, BVD, PI3, and Lepto. Heifers should additionally receive Brucellosis. You will also find that a Pasturella and Hae- mophilus somnus injection is worth the money as most infections are bacterial and not viral. Always follow the label for boosters and dosage recommendations. Using vaccines will lessen the need for antibiotics and produce One of the many entrants in the Thursday, March 26th parade in Glenwood to show support for a healthier animal which is more likely to reach maxi- mum genetic potential.
