When I chased a dream of building a cabin off the land, I lived in Izard County near Lafferty Spring and would often catfish Norfork at night and trout fish below the dam during the day. Used to stay at Y Cabins...kind of a cool dump using small cabins built onto small travel trailers...lol Used to also stay at Rainbow just below the damn and used Rose's Trout dock to rent a boat. Once I met Cathy, we used to go there every February for at least a week. First time I took Cathy was funny because the guys at Rose's said...."This isn't the same woman you were here with last time....?!?!"
