Low water on Norfork in the AM
Drag out your waders, pull on your boots and hit Norfork in the mornings. Norfork Tailwater has been offering wadeable water for a goodly chunk of the morning, if you are an early riser. And above is the proof from Gene’s Trout Fishing Resort’s newest webcam.
We mentioned last month how Gene’s has replaced the original webcam which was swept away in opening of the spillgates earlier this year.
Well now they have added a second cam with a downstream view _ both cams seem to be appreciably higher than the original. Hopefully SWPA will continue the generation pattern through the July 4 weekend, to let all the visitors enjoy some wading, then hit the big water in the afternoons. But then again you how good we are with predictions of water levels.
The SWPA generation schedule is its usual helpful self, though I did see some fly fishers suggesting it had been accurate of late. Well absolutely IF you check it after you have fished. As this is being written its 10am on Tuesday, yet there is no prediction up for tomorrow or any other day forward. I know you would all appreciate a few days guidance on what the water will be doing so you can plan your adventures this weekend or any weekend. After all Norfork is one of the premier trout waters of the entire south, and a playground for fly fishers from all over Ar, Tx, La, Ok, Mo and Tn, just those of us who can drive to the water in 20 minutes.
So take a punt if you are jonesing for some wadeable water, and then be prepared to be flexible.
