  1. Orchie,

    I love exploring new places like this. If you do have some smaller lakes 100-300 acres I'd look at those.

    Norfolk is a great looking venue though. I've found just pick an area like in the pic and forget about the rest until you've checked it out. Sping time the fish will be more concentrated which will make it easier.

    I'd bait up the ones one evening(red X) then watch them and see which one(s) has activity. The fish tend to give themselves away when they are present.

    Don't get frustrated. If you blank that could be a good thing. Not many small ones?

    cheers david, your help is greatly appreciated sir, fourche lake and mccormack lake are both about 40 acres each, really looking forward to getting out there.

  2. Orchie,

    With the cooler weather moving in the fish should move to the main parts of the lake and out of the arms. Bidwell Point is where I would start this time of year most likely by the bridge. You are right, lakes like this you could spend the rest of your life trying to figure out.

    I'd ask the locals where they see the fish while out fishing for other species also.

    Once you get a feel for it let me know and I'll hook up the boat and come over and do a session with you. :)

    Good Luck man!

    cheers for the advice david, once i get a bit more settled i'll let you know and we can get a session sorted, there is a few lakes near me which i like the look of, fourche lake mo. clearwater lake mo and mccormack lake mo, not had a good look yet but if i get any results i'll let you know :D

  3. I've never fished Norfork, but I've spent a lot of time on Bull Shoals and Table Rock. All the lakes in the White river watershed have a lot of carp in them and they act much like they are suppose to. The upper ends of any incoming creek or river is generally good, around active docks has always been good for me also. By active I mean a lot of people traffic. The upper end where the North Fork enters should be good in hot weather because its a cold stream.

    thank you for your advice swmo, greatly appreciated. i plan on taking a look at bull shoals and table rock too, i have to get a driving license first :) never thought i would be taking another driving test. tight lines sir.

  4. hi everyone, been to norfork lake arkansas and first thought are WOW, where do i start, i am used to 20-50 acres of water with total bankside access in england so the size of norfork is very daunting to me, would love to know where to start in regards to fish location/stocks/size and bankside access to the water,been living here for just over 3 weeks now so any help would be greatly appreciated, tight lines to you all

  5. Hello Orchie,

    You should be in a great area to carp fish.

    Taneycomo at Branson is worth a look. Fellows lake just north of Branson is good. Had mid 20's there years ago. Phone even caught a few there! :)

    I'm about 2.5 hours east of those areas. Shoot me a PM and maybe we can meet up some time.

    Good Luck and let us know how you do.

    cheers for the pointers david, will be in touch, its my first afternoon on here so just finding my bearings, also only been stateside for 3 weeks as well tight lines mate.

  6. Welcome to the forum. I can't help you as I am from Canada but I am sure others will.

    hi there, went to canada back in 1996, fished for carp in trenton ontario, lake skugog ontario, the welland canal ontario, had lot of decent fish up to high 20's and one of the best holidays i have ever had.

  7. hi everyone, just moved to missouri from england, i brought all my carp tackle to try to catch some of the big carp i had heard about. i live 20 miles from the arkansas/missouri border near west plains and i'm looking for any tips on where to start looking, back in england i'm used to having waters right on my doorstep so the vastness of the area i now live in is a bit daunting, i have been carp fishing for about 20 years now so if anybody has any questions about tactics or rigs i would be pleased to help out if i can, tight lines to you all :)
