2022 trout population monitoring: Norfork tailwater
On Sept. 15, the Trout Management Program conducted its annual fall monitoring event of the Norfork Tailwater (North Fork River) trout fishery. A total of 391 trout were collected, of which 86% were Rainbow Trout. Overall, sizes of trout ranged from approximately 7 to 27 inches, but the average sizes of Rainbow and Brown Trout were 13.2 inches and 17.9 inches, respectively. Most Brook and Cutthroat Trout were fish stocked in the tailwater within the last couple of months. The biggest trout collected during the event was a 27.1 inch (9.9 lb.) Brown Trout. The TMP also tagged a total of 104 Rainbow Trout and 35 Brown Trout during the event as part of the ongoing effort to monitor growth and movement of trout in the tailwater. Only four trout (2 Rainbow Trout, 1 Brown Trout, and 1 Cutthroat Trout) were fish that already had tags from previous tagging events. Over the next two months, the TMP will attempt to collect similar data from the Beaver, Greers Ferry and Bull Shoals Tailwaters so that comparisons of numbers and size structures can be made between fisheries.
