Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 20)

GOOD. Water Stained; 60 degrees; 0.16 feet below pool. Lake Fork bass bite has slowed down a bit with dropping water temperatures. Lots of 58-62 degree water and the lake if turbid after the recent rain. Spinnerbaits and chatterbaits around grass in 4-5 feet of water has been the best. Texas rigs are fair around deeper edges of grass and big lay downs in 4-6 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Bass are moving up and down with the weather changes, I’m offering shallow and subsurface until I find a working pattern. The bite changes as the water temp rises or falls. Frog pattern top waters are excellent in the grass and brush. Small craw patterns will work well on bedding bass. Crappies are moving to the creeks and staging, small fish patterns like wooly buggers are a good bet. Bream are beginning to make themselves known in the shallows, wooly buggers and small poppers should bring a strike.Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing has been up and down and all over the place this past week. Patterns are not just changing weekly or daily but sometimes hourly. Fish can be in water deeper than 30 feet, or as shallow as 1 foot. Seeing fish around grass, around timber, under bridges, under docks and on ledges. There are very few fish on brush piles and lay downs. Finding fish all over the bridge in the morning then gone that afternoon. The cold fronts and winds have really made finding patterns that will hold up difficult. Not seeing very many fish spawned out yet, so we should have shallow fish for the next months. The bite when you do find fish, and they do not run, is good on small hand ties, minnows, soft plastics. The catfish bite continues to be red hot in 12-18 feet of water around trees that have birds roosting overnight. We should see fish showing back up around trees along creek channels in 18-25 feet of water as well. Bait the area with cattle cubes or sour grain to get the catfish loaded up. Any prepared catf
