Norfork Lake Scuba Diving Report for July 22,2015

Scuba Steve Went Diving Yesterday All the way around Robinson's Island and got two nice walleye in 32 feet of water in the big rocks on the east side. I started out in the buckbrush at 23 feet right at the beginning of the thermocline on the south side and just found a few Kentucky Bass and Smaller Smallmouth but a lot of bait fish mostly bass and bluegill. I did not see any catfish but did not work shallow. It too two hours to circle the Island. The walleye are schooled and are in groups of 6-10 and are roaming but staying in the same general area. It is either feast ot famine. You will go for thirty minutes and not see a fish and there they are. Go slow and stay in the chunk rock areas just below them where it is flat and they will be there. The visibility is not bad in the rocks but forget it on mud bottoms. Stay in the cold water and follow the contour from 28-35 feet. The surface temperature is 87 degrees with the thermocline starting at 23 feet and cold at 30. All of my brush is too deep but they are staying in front of it.
