Lake Fork Fishing Reports
Lake Fork Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 13)
GOOD. Water Stained; 61 degrees; 0.07 feet below pool. Bass are good with lots of fish in the shallows, and some are spawning. Topwaters, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and senkos are good in 1-4 feet of water. Texas rigs are good on the edge of grass in 2-4 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Bass are in the shallows working streamers are working in 1-8 feet. Clousers should produce good results around structure. Crappie will be moving towards the banks, small patterns like wooly buggers are a good bet. Bream will also move to warmer water, a wooly bugger would be a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork has been really good this past week. Seeing fish from 1-32 feet deep right now. Focus on fish in the 10-18 feet range mostly on timber and brush. It is necessary to cover a lot of water, but then some days fish are concentrated and you can catch 50 fish in a small area quickly. Still seems to be dirty water on the shallow north ends of the lake. Due to those water conditions we are holding baits on fish longer before we see reactions mostly. All baits are working right now so use minnows, soft plastics or hand tied jigs. Still seeing the best shallow bite in the last few hours of the day. The catfish continue to stack up around cormorant roost trees on the north ends of the lake. Look for trees early or late in the day holding lots of birds. Best depths seem to be 13-20 feet and close to creek channels. Baiting around those trees with cattle cubes or sour grain will help keep some fish in the area during the daytime. If you like to fish after dark the fish are naturally stacking up under those trees. Use any catfish bait of choice and you should be able to catch lots of good eater size channel catfish.
