Kansas City Star Editor Brent Frazee has a good Trip on Norfork Lake
Stripers, walleye, bass, crappie all biting. Stick baits and minnows.
Mrs. Binkley shows off another Giant Bass. Weather in high 60’s water temp rising. Stick baits still good. Minor shad kill. Much food for fish. This is and will be one of the best fishing years for Norfork Lake.
Blackburns resort and Bink’s Guide service are Back from Rockford, Illinois. Met some nice people, happy to be home. Will start fishing tomorrow. You will be the first to know the fishing conditions of Norfork lake.
The northern Illinois Fishing and Outdoor Expo is Friday March 5th at 4PM Saturday 10AM to 6PM and Sunday 11AM to 5PM and is held at the Indoor Sports Center/Expo “ISC”. This is a very good show and we hope all of you in the area will come see us and talk fishing on Norfork Lake. We will be glad to see you. We have a lot of people that go to Canada in June that come to Arkansas in March and April where the season never closes and you cannot drill holes in our water or walk on it. A good early break from winter.
March 30th full moon. Stripers on the bank for best night fishing. Also Day Stripers on Jerk Bait. Big Crappie on Bank Spawning.
April 28th Full moon. Biggest Bass move to spawning areas. Be here for best fishing.
We have been having some beautiful weather lately and just a few degrees below the 55 normal. Darrel and I am going to work on the night bite for awhile so we can be the first to report on Striper Spring Fishing. This should be a great year for fishing on Norfork. Once the lake temperature passes 50 it will explode. Be here. Level now is 551.8 and in general is in excellent condition.
