Fishing Report

[Larry Richards]

The smallmouth bite is good but not great.Fishing sunrise to about 11am each day I am getting about 10 Smallmouths

a day,pitching 1/2oz jigs on main lake banks to ceder trees.Most of the bites are comming on the sink or after the first lift.The water temp is 88*.The best place I have found to launch is the ramp across the hwy from Henderson Park.

Any size to them Larry?

There running about 14" to 17" and about 1/2 the fish are over 15" really not to bad for Norfork.My big one Tuesday was 17 3/4" and went 3.4 lbs.I am using a 7' heavy X-fast rod with 15lb line to jerk them out of the trees and brush.Ham and I are going out this morning so I may have a update.This pattern has been working for me since the rain stopped but has been slowing down now that the water temps have gone up.

Is there any topwater bite in the morning?

Have you fished up the river any?

I know, alot of questions. Wanting to go fishing I guess. Not sure if I can stand the heat though.

Let me guess, your fishing from Mallard to around Diamond, right?
