Fishing The Norfork On High Water

[John Berry]

I guided a nice couple from Memphis on the Norfork yesterday. We had a cool start but it warmed up nicely by early afternoon. They were running two units at full bore (that is maximum generation on the Norfork). They kept the level steady and that helped a bit. We did not catch a lot of fish but we caught some very nice fish. The smallest trout that we boated was a fat fifteen inch rainbow. The biggest was a twenty inch rainbow that she landed (her second trout outing). We also caught an incredibly fat seventeen inch brown. The hot fly was the cerise San Juan worm. We also caught fish on Y2Ks.
