Norfork River
TIME: 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
WEATHER: PC, Mid-70s
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units
LOCATIONS FISHED: 2nd Island above Ackerman/Handicap Access
FLIES USED: #14 Gray Norfork Scud, #20 Dunn’s Dun
ROD USED: 10 ft 4 wt Winston
HATCHES: Midges
OTHER: Fished with Kay and Ron. Upon Ron’s arrival we immediately slipped into waders and began fishing. The Norfork fished really slow, but Ron managed to pick up 4 fish on the Gray Scud. I caught 4 fish as well. Ron is becoming an excellent fly fisher, and just needs to spend lots of time on the water. Kay picked up a couple fish downstream in a very difficult area. None of us caught any real big fish; most were in the 12-14 inch range.

OTHER: Fished with Kay. It was not as windy as the previous day. Kay and I struggled to catch fish, fooling only a couple each. I threw everything at them I thought would catch fish, with little luck, not even a bite. The river is fishing really slow, and very technical. Small midge hatch, #32 or so, coming off, and the fish were eating them, but would not take anything else.

OTHER: Fished with Kay and Sandy. Sandy is from New Jersey, is a friend of our friends, the Geerys, and was in Arkansas to remodel the Gerry’s house. He had never flyfished before today. After a short introduction to casting, he began fishing and was a natural, catching and landing four fish on the scud. He is now hooked!
