Norfork Lake

[Bassin Dude 365]

Will be down there the first week of July. NOT looking for SPOTS, but, I would like some general info as I've never been there before.

Will I be able to catch any fish up shallow?
Do I need to try to find suspended fish?
Do I need to fish super deep?

Any info will be greatly appreciated. Once again, not looking for anyone's spots or even baits to use, just some basic info to get me pointed in the right direction. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Norfork is a clear lake like Table Rock, Bull Shoals, etc.
Early morning topwater until the sun gets up, then go deep.
You could probably run up the river to look for a shallow bite.

You might want to check out some of the resorts web pages for fishing info.
There's some there that offer quite a bit of good info.

G'luck.

Lake is around 4 feet high so should be at least a few shallow. I've been thinking of making a striper trip.

Night fishing should be really good. They run a Weds nighter and Friday nighter out of Panther Bay if you wanna fish a jackpot tourney. As said, shallow first two hours of the morning, and last two hours of the evening. Then back off the banks a least a full cast length and fish plastics or jigs deeper. What part of the lake ya gonna be on?

Will be staying near the 101 bridge. Bidwell is the closest ramp. Thanks for the info.
