Clinch River, Norris Section
Many
experienced anglers consider the section
of Clinch River located
below the 265 ft. high
Norris Dam to be one of the finest trout
fisheries
in the Country.
A weir dam divides the section of river
immediately adjacent to the City
of Norris into
two distinctly
different fishing environments.
The section
above the weir dam provides
fishermen in boats deeper water in which to fish.
The section below the weir dam provides the
more shallow cascading water preferred by fly
fishermen in waders.
Regardless, there are many river access points
along
the Clinch River from which to embark on
fishing, boating and other
water sports activities.
