LAKE FORK FALL REPORT 2017




As of this post, the water level is sitting at 401.86 and the temps are right around 64 degrees. I have been fishing both shallow and deep and the numbers have been very good. We've been having 30+ fish on good days and around 15 on slow days.

SHALLOW BITE

I am fishing in the backs of main feeder creeks, right in the creek or very close to it, and there needs to be grass and bait fish around... I am fishing anywhere from 1 to 5 foot, throwing a lot of different baits.
Weightless Fluke (mardi gras)

Top Waters ( shad color)
Spinner Baits (white)
Skinny Dipper (white)
T-Rig with a speed worm (watermelon and green pumpkin)

DEEP BITE

I am fishing in 15 to 20 foot on main lake points in areas where I am seeing a lot of fish on the graph. I am really just throwing two different baits right now.The Carolina Rig has been very good to me this fall. I am rigging it with a 1 oz weight, 5 foot leader and a #3 rigging hook. My best results have come on Flukes (mardi gras) and 7 inch Power Worms (pumpkin seed).

The other bait I am throwing out deep has been a Drop Shot with a #1 rigging hook, a 5/16 oz weight with 4 inch finesse worm (mardi gras) and (red.)

I hope this information will help anyone coming to Fork. I also have days available this fall and winter and would love to have the chance to try and put you on a fish of a lifetime. I will also be running trips on a few hot water lakes this fall and winter if any of y'all are interested.

FULL DAY1-2 Anglers $350

HALF DAY 1-2 Anglers $250

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 10)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85-90 degrees; 0.91 feet below pool. Early and late bass topwater bite around grasslines and isolated cover on main lake and secondary points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bass are beginning to school, a hard-bodied popper should work well. Bream are shallow, try small hoppers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service.
