Below Norfork Dam 5-9-08

What a great multi species night below the dam. Caught 6 hybrids, 3 walleyes, 1 white bass, 1 largemouth and 1 brown trout, all on rattling crankbaits. Guys across from me were really slaying the walleyes. A guy from Wisconsin said he caught 20 walleyes Tuesday night on a gold and black floating rapala. Is the DNR going to shock this area to stop the trout predation or are they going to rely on anglers to do it ? I talked to some locals and they said they preferred the fishery the way it is now. I did not realize those fish could survive that fall through the flood gates. I wish I would have found out about it sooner, I had a tough 9 days on the lake before I finally fished below the dam. It was even harder to leave on Saturday than it normally is, but hopefully in 8 years I will be able to fish the area at will.

Glad to hear you had some great action below the dam~ Those Hybrids sure are fun and the Eye's also. Those trout don't have a chance if those species hang around.

No they will not shock the area, the AR GAME and FISH Commission meeting in Mt Home last week, was keep everything thats not undersized. walleye 18 inchs, stripers 20 inches they coul dnot really decide on smallmouht size but they think 10 inches since its part of White River.

They did mention not to extend the daily limits too.
