What a difference a year can make in the weather conditions on Norfork Lake. Last year on 1/3/09 I was out fishing and catching crappie and small mouth in just a light weight tee shirt. This year I am stuck in the house with cold temps and snow on the ground. The fish are still biting well so when the weather breaks get out on Norfork Lake. Yesterday a fisherman was fishing for striped bass on Cow Point and limited out in 20 minutes. He had a heater in his boat, but when he tried to pull his boat out of the water he had to be towed out.
For those people in the St. Louis area, Linda and I will be at the Collinsville Fishing Show at the Gateway Center this coming weekend. The Show starts on Friday at noon and lasts until Sunday at 5PM. Come by and visit with us or come by to book your vacation for this season. We do offer a sport show special if you can book at the show.
The Norfork Lake water level is 558.4 and falling around 4 - 5 inches per day. The Corps has all generators running full blast. The lake surface temp is 47 - 48 degrees. The main lake is clear with the creeks and coves stained. The creeks and coves will clear once the lake stabilized and a constant level.
