The Arkansas Game and Fish gave local fish some new "real estate." Their team recently placed 155 recycled Christmas trees in Crystal Lake and Lake Elmdale to improve underwater habitat.

  • Crystal Lake: One large new habitat site (35 trees).
  • Lake Elmdale: Three sites replenished and one brand-new site created (120 trees).


These structures provide excellent cover for fish and better targets for anglers. They’ll be posting the exact coordinates on the Fish Attractors page of their website soon!
