Fish mudlines along the bank on windy days. 3 to 10 feet in brush. 20 to 30 feet under lantern light, on minnows tightlined to just above the bottom. Large creek hollows are best. Tuffy minnows, small hair jigs, 1-inch tube jigs.
Stained water is best.
Fish the shallows in the larger creeks, next to brush. In the river sections, fish the stickups. Early morning hours, or cloudy days have been best. Popping bugs fished with flyrod continue to be the best way to catch fish on Norris. Early morning, before 9 a.m., has been the best time to fish popping bugs.
