A Beaver Lake angler snagged a state record Saturday, June 15. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Mike Schleeper was trolling brooder minnows when he snagged the 127-pound, 6-ounce paddlefish.

One of the key reasons for purchasing the land was to help safeguard Beaver Lake, which provides ... opportunities within the park, which is the only state park in Arkansas that allows hunting.
