Really appreciate all the advice, thank you

Hi guys, i am thinking of going to 11 point the weekend(14/15th sept) from turner to riverton staying out overnight camping, my only concern is we will be taking our 8 year old boy with us, he can swim but not very well and i wasn't sure if it would be a good idea because of this as we will be the only two in the canoe, i have only drifted from turner to riverton once about two years ago. any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks and tight lines to you all

Hi Ness, thank you for the welcome, fishing in the UK is very expensive and as your friend said, everywhere is owned by someone, it cost on average $18 a day to fish most places or you can buy a season ticket for one lake which could be anywhere from 5 acres up to 60 acres which can range in price from $100 to $1000 for a 9 month ticket, then if you do get the time off work to fish you then have to compete with 4 million plus anglers for a decent spot to fish, loving america and super proud to be able to call it home now.

I don't have much experience of the river as i have only lived in America for 18 months, i drifted once last year and caught a few trout but i do not own my own boat so been fishing from the bank in the few spots available, i also only spin fish, never tried casting a fly as fly fishing in England where i am from is a costly sport being as there is not so many places to go, i drifted as a passenger from turner to riverton, its is the most beautiful place i have fished.

Good luck sir and tight lines

Thank you Larry, i'll take a look, wanted a boat to have a go for some stripers and other stuff.

Thank you Chuck, i shall take a look.

Thank you Doug, i will take a look.

I will be going with my wife and 2 sons 6 and 10 years old to stay at Norfork for a few days, can anyone recommend a place to stay which rents boats with their own dock, would really appreciate any help you guys can give, many thanks.

Hi Wayne, thanks for the info, i am already on cag,i go under the name orchie on there. you posted on one of my topics, really appreceiate all the help i am getting from you guys.

Hey Jack, thanks for the pointers, i shall take a look at those sites, this is the best forum i have come across so far, there is subjects on everything, we have a bad drink culture in England, tends to be kids between 14 and 20 getting drunk and causing all sorts of trouble, thanks for the heads up and thank you for the welcome mate.

Thank you for your help Brian, i will do that, i'm only about 2 miles from there.

Hey ham, thanks for the advice mate, really do appreciate it, as for a-holes, that is one of the reasons i moved here, i love being English but the majority of the people have lost their way, been here since October 2010 and got nothing but good stuff to say about everything

Hey Ham, thank you for the advice on Norfork, i cannot find the creeks on Google earth, do you know of a site where i can see a map with creek name, cheers mate

Hi guys, just moved over from England, i like to fish for European carp and have been advised to start looking at Norfork lake, being hundreds of times bigger than all waters in the uk i was hoping for some advice as to where to start, i live over in Oregon county Missouri, i don't own a boat so i am looking for bankside access so i can fish for carp, i also love fishing for other species as well so is it viable to fish for these from the bank also, really appreciate any help you guys can give me, many thanks and tight lines to everyone
