Spring patterns

Subject: SCHNABLE... Lake Norfork The Lake level is 553.8 and the water temp is in the upper 50's to the low 60's. The water is warmer the farther you get back in the creeks with the off colored water. The bite is getting better everyday with the warmer days and nights. The stripers are up in the water column (10 - 25ft.) A few are coming up busting shad early and just before dark. After dark throw a stickbait and remember to reel it real slow. Bass are hitting soft jerkbaits,swimbaits,crankbaits and the deeper fish are hitting jigs. Look for whites in the back of the creeks. Check out the fishing derby on the Lake Norfork Camber website.
