Lakes & Rivers / North Fork River

North Fork River
OMR Cool water, record-breaking trout stream

Cool waters from the Norfork Dam flow into this picturesque five-mile long mountain river creating a perfect world-class trout stream. The mountain waters of North Fork River remain at 47 to 58 degrees during all seasons providing an ideal year-round habitat for Rainbow, Cutthroat, German Brown and Brook. The Norfork National Fish Hatchery practices continuous stocking of this tail water trout stream, and record-breaking trophy catches of the North Fork River include a world record German brown trout caught in 1989 that weighed almost 39 pounds.

Fishing resorts on the beautiful and peaceful North Fork provide excellent lodging, equipment rentals, jon boat rentals and professional guide services. Expert anglers and inexperienced fishermen alike enjoy exciting, year-round fishing adventures on this perfect cool water trout stream. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Ozarks and fed by the cool waters of Norfork Lake, the North Fork River is a beauty to behold and a joy to fish.
