Information for the NoArk VII Clave at Bull Shoals State Park, AR

NoArk VII will be held this year during the week of June 2nd through the 9th at Bull Shoals State Park in Lakeview, AR. Situated below Bull Shoals Dam, the State Park features 105 campsites along the river--eight Premium Class A sites, 77 Preferred Class A sites, 20 tent sites with no hookups, two "Rent-A-Camp" sites and one "Rent-An-RV." Park facilities include picnic areas, standard pavilions, playgrounds and trails. A trout dock offers boat, motor and canoe rentals, supplies and equipment; and gifts. From Mountain Home, travel 6 miles north on AR 5, then 8 miles west on AR 178 to the park.

You can obtain more information on facilities and camping at: P.O. Box 205 / Bull Shoals, AR 72619, (870) 431-5521 / email: bullshoals@arkansas.com

Conclave Central will be at campsites 75-77 for fishing information. Maps will be available of spots to fish on the White and Norfork Rivers.

At this time we are planning to have an informal gathering Friday night at Conclave Central. Our traditional BBQ/Potluck will be held Saturday evening at the pavilion in the campground. Everyone provides their own meat and a side dish, salad or dessert to share. There is a large grill at the pavilion.

Larry Carli and Dennis Hammett will be your clavemeisters again this year. Larry will also be the Swapmeister. Larry can be reached at Ljcarli@aol.com and Dennis can be reached at dennish@umr.edu if you have any questions.

Please let us know if you are planning to attend this year. It is helpful to know how many people are coming and what dish they plan to bring to the BBQ. We will also need someone to provide paper plates and plastic utensils, etc. in place of a potluck dish. Send an email to either Larry or Dennis with how many will be in your party and what day you're planning to arrive.

NoArk VII Fly Swap

The Fly Swap will take place after the Saturday evening potluck dinner. Each tier will tie 1 dozen flies to be given to Larry no later than Friday evening, June 8th. Please supply small tags for your flies. If you are going to participate in the fly swap, send Larry an email at Ljcarli@aol.com and let him know what you're planning to tie.
