For me this is the only reason I go to Lake Norman, the high class fishing conditions. I go there every year, once in the spring and once in the summer and I always catch great fishes. At first I went with the Pro-Am Guide Service because they had the no fish-no pay policy but there was no need for this because I never had a bad day here.
