Makes sense to me because some of the creeks will have a little more color to them than the main lake does.

I plan on being at Norfork this weekend chasing em.

I agree big river not sure which creek he’s in but I know where there is a little timber back up in the ends of a couple around my area. Will give that a try if I make it up there

One more question Jackie do u have a color suggestion for that clear water? When fishing the dock I’ve never used jigs up there. I know my colors for regular water down here but that’s so different up there. Maybe something like a blue/white glitter

Well went Monday and Tuesday. Caught 2 crappie and 3 bass. Pretty slow and permanent neighbor up there said it’s been a tough go up there. On flip side jumped the river today to MS and brought home 7 nice ones with my son.
