Get On the Lake Current Norfork Lake Conditions Current Conditions As of Nov. 8, 2011
It’s business as usual on Norfork Lake. The lake is great shape.
Clean, cooler, flat as glass, just as you would expect Norfork Lake to be.
Locals call it “Norfork Clear”. With the lake level down about 2 feet and the shoreline into the gravel, all Norfork Lake Chamber of Commerce members report operating as usual. The Corps of Engineer parks and campgrounds are operating on their winter schedules. Be sure to call ahead for campsite availability. Fishing this fall has been very good and expected to be the same into our mild winter months. So far, we have had a very good crappie season and the smallmouth action has been excellent and the night bite is on. Check with your favorite chamber member for the most up to date conditions. Speaking of fishing, THE BITE”S ON! The action has been everywhere, in the creeks, the flatter points, under the docks and the dam area. Check with your favorite chamber member or our local fishing reports for the most up to date conditions. For you anglers, the stripers are in their early fall pattern. There is an early morning top water bite. Watch for the late afternoon bite to pick up soon. For the best dates, better make your fall plans now. As always, we’re filling fast!

Absolutely! The Corps of Engineers report no concerns regarding the water
quality of Norfork Lake. For the near term future, keep a watchful eye open
for floating debris. This is expected to clear soon. It just gets better
every day. 
Really not much. The same
great features that Norfork Lake is nationally famous for and that you are
accustomed to are available for your enjoyment. You will find access,
conditions, and approaches to the parks, marinas, and resort boat docks
fairly normal.
