Nine-year old Megan tore it up on Norfork (and yes, Dry Run Creek) a couple of days this week.

Sorry-- her parents have all the Dry Run Creek photos... Norfork is fishing very well right now, with tons of healthy, spunky fish eating small olive scuds, sowbugs, midge pupae, and pheasant tails. Oh, and the occasional big foam hopper! Of the four days I fished with clients the...
