Well, the 2015 Crappie Masters One Day Qualifier on Beaver Lake was good to us. Beaver is a huge clear, deep, vast lake that offers different styles of fishing. The upper part of the lake has clear deep water and the lower end of the lake splits into two major arms the Warrior River and then the White River arm.
