A good way to get up the Norfolk and fish area that don't see a lot of fishermen.

ifish 4-I love the trailer set up! I run a cargo set up for bird hunting with pointing dogs...I've been wanting to tweak it up a little so I can use it for trout during the summer months.
Broken Bow and the Lower Mountain Fork river have been solid all winter. The logs are going back in soon, so we will lose about a mile or so of fishable water. While the river will never be what it was like early this century, it is still a great place to fish. YOu can either join the masses and fish the easy-to-reach places or head up spillway or down zone 2 and get some quality personal space. Alot just depends on your state of mind and what you go fishing for.
As for the new regulations, yes, I agree it will hurt the easy to reach places (Evening Hole, Cold hole, etc), but it will definitely help in other ways. Brown Trout are now C&R only, and certain parts of the river are loaded with them. Zone 2 and 3 are basically all C&R - these might become trophy spots. There is good and bad to everything..... we are all anxious to see what tossing bait on a barbless hook looks like.
Hey MCC.... i would like to offer that the LMF in winter is a great place for long term holdovers and wild fish. Here is some proof! These were all caught between December and last weekend
Crowding is definitely an issue and it is only going to get worse. Visitation to Beavers Bend has increased over 600% in the last 5 years. As mentioned above, MOnday thru Thursday is always the best time to go, especially September thru April. From May to when school starts, it is a zoo.
