Norfork, Bull Shoals - Invasive species?
Do either of these lake have Asian Carp or other really bad invasive species? Or have they been able to be kept out?

No Silver or Bighead Carp is the White River chain of lakes (that I have heard of). There are Zeebra Mussels in Bull Shoals though.

Stripers and hybrids are invasive species as far as I'm concerned, and one or both are there.

Norfork,Bull shoals, White River are cool water streams from under the Dams of these lakes."Trout" Waters. Don't think the silver carp would like or thrive "live in the cold waters".These cool water are usually maintained 68-70 deg year around all the way to Guion Arkansas.These water will freeze you in batesville ark where we live in the hot summer time. To keep their trout alive.From a want to be Biologists. Would like to be like D-10."Dream Job"Only can Dream.

Why do you ask crazy fish?

Don't think the low temp will deter them, since they are thriving all the way to the great lakes, but the water may be too sterile for them. Not much nutrient in those waters.

They have to be able to swim in and no access from what I see . Someone would have to bring them in . Nimrod does'nt have them and that is a good thing these dams don't allow access for the Asian Carp .

The day them things get in these lakes is the day I say we Nuke em and start over. Some of the most beautiful and pristine waters on this planet.Even if the fertility is lower they are still a joy to be on.It would not take much to help these lakes to improve if the right things are done.
It's bad enough they are fracking around some of them.

There are no silver or bighead carp in Bull Shoals Lake or Norfork Lake. As D-10 mentioned, there are zebra mussels in Bull Shoals Lake. We have not confirmed any zebra mussels in Norfork Lake.
Mac Daddy is correct that Striped Bass and Hybrid Striped Bass are stocked in Norfork Lake. Neither are stocked in Bull Shoals Lake by the AGFC. MDC does stock striped bass every other year in Bull Shoals Lake.
doggone, we willing to hear from anglers on ways we can improve fishing in these lakes.
