About North Fork River
The Norfork tailwater on the North Fork River is a short, intensely productive cold-water fishery flowing from Norfork Dam to its confluence with the White River near Norfork, Arkansas. Cold bottom-release water from Norfork Lake supports trophy brown trout and rainbow trout in a fast-moving Ozark stream. The available gauge (07057500) sits just across the Missouri state line at Tecumseh, MO, but reads the Arkansas tailwater. Smaller water than the White, often more wadeable when generation is light.
Regulations
Arkansas fishing license + trout permit required (resident ~$10.50 + ~$10.00 trout permit = ~$20.50/year). EMERGENCY REGULATIONS in effect (Feb 2026 — hatchery shortage): Norfork tailwater allows 2 rainbow trout under 14" only; all other trout species must be released immediately; no brown trout may be kept. Year-round season. Verify current emergency regulations at agfc.com before fishing.
