June trip Norfork and other venues

Recommended Posts

Spent the last 4 weeks at our house in North Arkansas. Fishing was pretty good most mornings. We had a couple slow days due to thunderstorms that cut the mornings short.

We spent most of our time on the Spring river, but also fished the Norfork and Bull Shoals tailwaters and the Eleven Point river in southern Missouri.

Best flies were zebra midges or scuds behind an egg pattern on the tailwaters and eggs and olive/brown woolly buggers on the Spring and Eleven Point.

Here's a few pics..

Great photos! That is a fat brown trout. Congrats on her PB trout! Sounds like you had great time.

Yeah, it was a football.. must have quite an appetite.

Here's a pic of the release that shows the girth a little better.

Look at the bellies and the coloration on those fish. To me that's  proof that the best place to raise trout is in these rivers not concrete raceways. Excellent fish.

I agree.

But sadly with all the poaching and bait fishers that catch and keep multiple limits every time out that's not gonna happen.

That's why the best places left to find those natural looking fish are the C&R areas. Lots of conservation minded anglers that will confront those who don't obey the rules.
