Lake Norman, North Carolina - Freshwater Fishing Report

Lake Norman

Starting now is a good time to visit Lake Norman to get your limit of striped bass. They are schooling up and feeding on everything is sight. It is easly to get your limit of four (4) per outing. They are not large (3.5 to 6 pounds), but perfect for filets. After 8:30 AM you can find them schooled up at 35 to 40', which is ideal for those that like to jig spoons. This trend should last thru May of 2007.
