The AGFC places fish attractors made of cane, brush, trees and PVC in many Arkansas lakes to help anglers find fish throughout the year. In many cases local anglers, federal agencies and other partners help in the creation and placement of these fish attractors. Anglers also are encouraged to build attractors of their own to create hidden fishing hot spots. It is important to call the owner of the lake where you would like to sink fish attractors to make sure they are allowed.
The files below can be loaded into Lowrance and Humminbird depth finders with gps capability or into any gps enabled device that supports .gpx files, using a memory card (typically an SD or micro-SD card) or the device's on-board memory.
