Justin Spencer Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Put in at Tecumseh at the top of Norfork lake yesterday. Went down toward the stump hole and ran in to a fleet of boats. Like everyone else who came along, figured this must be where the fish were. Fished about an hour there and caught 2 nice whites. Didn't see anyone else catching fish so we decided to run up to Bryant Creek. At the confluence of the Bryant and NFoW there were about a dozen fishermen so we continued up the first hole on the Bryant side. Went to first riffle and drifted down. Caught one decent male right off the bat, then one big male a while later. White swimmin' minners, white and chartreuse maribous all caught fish, but couldn't find any big groups willing to bite. Took out about 6:30 so might have left a little early. All males are ready to spawn, the one female we cleaned was full of eggs, but not very developed. A little more rain and warm temps and they should really be heading up the Bryant along with the walleye and stripers. Wonderful afternoon to be out, and came home with enough for a meal, life is good!
