Norfork Closed

[walleyehunter]

I was planing a fishing trip to Norfork this weekend. I heard from someone that the Corps has closed all the ramps and doesn't want any boats on the water at all. Anyone else hear anything or were could you find out if this is true or for how long.

I have not heard that. Maybe Larry will chime in as he is usually well aware of all the info.

I had just called Cranfield Marina this afternoon about renting a slip in the next few days. They said nothing about NOT being open. Have to put-in at the Corp lot and drive around the DNR camping island to the dock was only problem mentioned.

Ramps closed seems strange.... steady....

Larry: Do you recommend upper lake or dam area?

I'm too old to be trailering around, so I prefer to just rent a slip and work that area.

Tracy Ferry Marina said their turnaround was under water so you had to back in there. Can't go for that. Mentioned that a lot of striper guides were having trouble netting shad up in the brush. Nets get hung up requiring repair.

I usually spoon fish for stripers. Spinners in the tree tops for bass.

Thx. Steady...

I like the mid lake areas (coves) spinnerbaits and Flukes and scum frogs have been working for me.There is still a few(not many) big logs in the lake so keep a eye out for them.

Good Fishing

Lake is not closed, and if you are wanting to catch stripers throw a rapala husky jerk or a bait of that nature and slow roll it to the boat. The best places to fish for them will be the dam area of the lake.
