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

The lake level is 579.53 and has risen about 8-inches in the last 24-hours. We received 3.2 inches of rain last afternoon and night but had very little wind. They have some spillway gates open. The creeks run pretty hard for a while but have slowed now.  It is sunny and beautiful now with high pressure having moved in for several days.  Everything is very green and the garden and grass are really growing. There is a top water bite most days for bass and stripers early and then they are going deep. I have not went out on the water yet today but will let you know when I do. Not much has changed. What you see is what you get for quite some time. It could be a lot worse.
