Norfork Lake fishing and lake conditions by Scuba Steve from Blackburns Resort and Boat rental (click here for comments)

This and several more caught fishing with Bink.Image title

The lake level is 572.78 and has dropped 3.3 inches in the last 24-hours with both generators running continuously. They are to open spillway gates Monday to quickly drop the lake but have not announced how many. I will let you know. The lake surface temperature is 82 degrees and rising with the warm weather. We got some wind yesterday afternoon from the north and blew pretty hard with no rain. It lasted about 1/2 hours and blew the top off one of my pontoons. You could not see it coming from the sky conditions but there were whitecaps in Blackburns Creek and that is rare. Everything else was fine and the people renting boats were all in and showing a lot of sense. Bink is really on the Stripers and Hybrids but always is this time of year.  He always says the hotter the better. Come on down. Blackburns has some openings starting tomorrow and you can get a one bedroom cabin for $75/day. Why pay more?
