issue respectively from the dams at Bull Shoals Lake and Norfork Lake. These rivers are
world famous for rainbow, brook, cutthroat and brown trout. Resorts, outfitters, and trout
fishing guides offer everything you need for a successful Ozark trout fishing adventure.
The lakes are a short drive from the rivers so you can also lake fish or enjoy watersports
as part of a trip to the area. The Cities of Mountain Home and Bull Shoals Arkansas are
close by where you'll find ample civil amenities. |
Area Fishing &
Recreation Excellent Despite Spring 2008 Floods
With rare exception area lake and river resorts were not damaged by flooding this spring.
Trout fishing remains excellent on the White and North Fork Rivers. Canoeing and fishing
on the Buffalo river will be excellent this spring. Area road damage was minor.Norfork and Bull Shoals lakes do have high water levels. Dock access
in some locations may be limited but most docks can be accessed. Lake fishing will be
excellent this spring, lake watersports this summer will not be affected. High water
greatly enhances lake fish spawns.
Most resorts are not experiencing diminished dock services, a
few are. Diminished dock services will be temporary. If you have concerns please call your
favorite resort for details.
