Although I live close to Norris, I usually go there to take the family and play. I'm not a good enough fisherman to comment on the quality of the fishing, but I usually don't do any good there. I think it's a hard lake to fish, It's deep and extremely clear, the banks are bare, and while there is a lot of rock structure there is almost no cover. The crappie limit is 10 fish/10" long. I've though about taking a few "condo's" up there just to see what would happen.Originally Posted by Bushrod
They say it used to be a great lake before they stocked the strippers, but that's a can of worms I'd rather not get into.....
If I'm going to fish Norris I usually go at night, and while I've never hit the "big lode" I've talked to others that rack up on crappie, walleye, catfish, smallmouth....at night under lanterns..
just my .02.
Good fishing where ever...
