Spent Sunday exploring Lake Keith in Cave Springs, AR and learning more on the history of this interesting place. So neat to find out they used to have a small trout hatchery there over 100 years ago at the mouth of the cave spring. One small raceway with a couple different sections is all they used to raise trout.

I started of by wetting a line a little by running a couple spinners and a small marabou jig around a couple different areas. I didn’t see any action and I didn’t see any aquatic animals of any kind. They completely drained the lake this summer to renovate the park and turn a once private piece of land into a public education park. It doesn’t appear they have stocked the lake since refilling it. Still fun to get out and explore a little.

Happy Fishing and Stay Trout Tough!
