Nick Harris of Little Rock found the bream on fire Sunday afternoon at Lake Maumelle. These are a couple of the 20 or so he caught in the first hour of fishing. With the full moon upon us here as we move into June, the bream will be spawning and this will be a big weekend for fishing. Consider taking a kid along for a great day and evening of bream fishing and an experience the youngster won't forget. Photo by Randy Zellers.
