Norfork Lake Scuba Diving Report For June 15,2015

The spearfishing season opended this morning and the conditions were very good. The visibility was just right to be able to see far enough to see the fish but not too clear to not be able to get near enough for a shot. It is cloudy and we are to have good chances of rain for several days but the lake level is stable at 562.2 and is clearing in the creeks. I prefer sunny days but we take what we get. I went to my favorite place and got two nice walleye, one about four pounds and another a little over two. There is a thermocline setting up at about 20-feet and there are several fish just above that. The larger walleye are here and some smaller ones are shallow in the buckbrush. The thermocline is not very pronounced yet. Some good crappie are near Red Bank and now is a good time to go there since that is the first place the visibility will diminish along with Bennett's. Some Catfish are also shallow and in the buckbrush. I got a nice channel cat about six pounds. There are few places to dive from the banks so if you need a dive boat call 870-492-5115 This is what I wait for all spring. Scuba Steve. Scroll down for picture.
