When staying here at Fish and Fiddle you will find you can enjoy our Lake and also enjoy the Rivers. We are only 9 miles from the rivers which gives you the best of both worlds. Most people enjoy the Lake but can break it up with a day or 2 on the rivers. Being one of the closest resorts to the rivers, you have the option of doing both. Norfork Lake is know for its Lunker Stripers and other fish but the rivers are also known for plenty of trout along with record breaking trout from there. If you want to venture out to the Buffalo you can do a great canoe trip and also fish for small mouth. Its hard to beat the variety we have with our Lakes and Rivers.
Boating
Boating
There is a hard-surfaced public launch 3.5 miles away by land, and 1.5 miles away by water. Moor your boat in our private, covered, lit dock. One boat stall is included with your cabin rental. We do not offer fuel services or repair services of any kind, but you can get fuel and service at the marina. Be sure to ask for availability on the dates you want a dock stall! If you are a fisherman, we recommend bringing your own boat as it is very difficult to rent one on the lake.
Fishing

If you are really looking for help in catching a trophy fish and are tired of being fooled, come to Fish & Fiddle Resort, Lake Norfork's true fishing resort. We don't just talk fishing, we catch fish! If you are looking for a fishing resort with all the extra conveniences, this is where you'll find them. Folks especially enjoy fishing for stripers, but bass, walleye, crappie, and catfish.

Our Dock & Dock Access
A road about 800 feet long runs down to the dock and two parking lots from the resort. The dock is a newer model metal structure with wood decking. Each stall has a 110vac electrical receptacle for battery charging. The dock interior, as well as the external walkway and parking lots, are well lit. The 12' x 24' swim deck is also well lit. We have a complete 8' stainless steel fish cleaning station with running water on our dock and freezer facilities at the resort for preserving your catch. Your first boat stall is free with a cabin rental. It does not matter which boat stall you receive, All stalls are wide enough for any size trailerable boat.
Out In Nature
Out In Nature
While the Ozarks have four true seasons, winter, spring, and fall have several weeks of surprisingly warm weather allowing comfortable field trips any time of year. Each season presents a broad range of outdoor adventure opportunities. Your biggest challenge is simply choosing what you want to do!
Swimming
Swimming
Children and adults enjoy swimming in the lake, which is warm enough to enjoy mid May through mid September. You can swim in the lake from our dock, or from a rental pontoon boat. Attached to the dock is a swimming/sunning deck which has a climb-out ladder. The swim deck is large enough for groups and all their floats. You can swim all night long if you wish because the dock is well lit. For a most spectacular swimming experience take a dip in the moonlight!
The Seasons
The Seasons
The first early wildflowers appear during the last week of February. While it is possible to see a snow storm in March it is rare. In most years spring is well under way by mid March. Daytime temperatures are usually in the mid 50's and 60's. February and March are the perfect time of year to fish for trophy brown trout.
