Norfork Lake Arkansas near Mountain Home in the Ozark Mountains Region Fishing Report and Lake Condition by Scuba Steve from Blackburns Resort and Boat Rental.

The lake level is 552.52 and has dropped 1-1/2 inches in the last 24-hours with several hours of alternation between one and two generators. The White River at Newport is just over 3-ft. and we remain below average on rainfall. The surface water was 58 degrees yesterday afternoon with the sun warming the water when I went out and it was a nice day with the ambient temperature in the high 50's with a light southeastern wind. Again I alternated lures from a spoon to a jig with most fish coming on the spoon. I caught four keeper bass and two nice crappie from 3:PM to 5:PM fishing main lake points brush in 25-35 ft. of water allowing the lures to touch the bottom. I did not see many fish on top of the brush except for a few bluegill. It cooled off quickly at sunset so I came in. Fishing overall was a little better and it needed to be and I did see a couple of other boats out there but not many. I am going out with Bink this morning to get an annual fishing lesson and will be on the radio at 8:45 AM on KTLO 97.9 with LIve in the Boat. I will give a report. Mike caught some nice walleye and Tom caught some bass in Float Creek.
