Norris Tailwater Fishing Report: 19 Feb 2025
Report Contributor – Scott Dalton, Wildlife Tech 1
Last week fishing was great when the generators were not running with lots of rainbow and brown trout caught. While the generators were running, drift boats were doing well too. With additional precipitation, Norris is well above the guide curve and water is being sluiced (2 generators and sluice gate open). During this time fishing is more difficult. Use extreme caution.
