Norfork Lake for smallmouth bass


Good morning from Hummingbird Hideaway Resort, your Arkansas Ozark vacation destination on Norfork Lake. Long time resort guest, Larry from Muncie, IN, caught this nice 18 inch small mouth bass in our cove. I believe he was pitching a pig & jig off of a point. He and his wife are here with their two granddaughters and are having a great time swimming in our pool and fishing Norfork Lake. In addition to this small mouth, Larry has caught many keeper size largemouth and Kentucky bass. I have given him a couple of potentially good walleye spots to try out so hopefully he will have success with them as well.

I caught a nice 17 inch smallmouth on a live crawdad in our cove. Since the smallmouth are coming into our cove the walleye should be right behind them if this year is consistent with past years. I went out for a short time this morning and caught two nice 2 1/5 pound largemouth bass on a Zara spook. I also threw a twin tail chomper for a little while and caught several short Kentucky bass.

The Norfork Lake level is 562.42 and holding steady. The Corp. is running two generators about 6 hours per day. The lake is clear in the main lake and clearing up in the creeks and coves. The water temp this morning was in the low 70's to mid 70's.


Have a great day and happy fishing.
