The Dream Stream vs. Norfolk Tailwater

[ollie]

Well, just got back from the Norfork and the fishing was pretty good.  Never did get a chance to hit up the White due to heavier generation than we had hoped.  First day out they were running one generator and we mainly were catching them drifting jigs downstream.  I ended up catching a nice 18" bow for the biggest of the trip and my buddy caught the most.  Didn't get into any cutts or brookies, but the bows and browns were decent.  We might have caught a couple under 12", but most were of that size though.  My buddy was just as happy to go there than Colorado mainly because of the money we saved!!  lol  I saw what you were talking about snagged in that there was a lot of debris on the bottom.  I got better however as you went downstream towards the confluence of the white.  We actually caught more fish in that last run than anywhere else on the river.  Still had a great time though.  Thanks to everyone who gave insight to this thread.

Was the water still brown?

Not really, but there was a LOT of moss on the bottom just about everywhere you went.  Water was more of a dark green color more than anything I thought.  Wanted to hit the White, but with just the canoes and power running a lot we decided it wouldn't be the best idea.
