Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 8)

GOOD. Water Stained; 55 degrees; 1.85 feet below pool. Bass are good in 3-5 feet of water in timber or grass with chatterbaits, square bill crankbaits and flukes. Texas rigs and shaky heads are good around docks in 5-10 feet of water. Carolina rigs fair on roadbeds and high spots 14-17 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Report by Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork. The Lake Fork crappie fishing continues to be excellent as the surface temperatures continue to drop. Lots of fish can be found on timber, brush and bridges in 18-58 feet. If you find areas with tons of shad there will be crappie close by. Look for fish migrating towards deeper water that sometimes follow creek channels. The jig bite has kicked in for the winter. Small hand tied jigs are producing extremely well and soft plastics will get you a bite. Minnows are always a go to bait for crappie on Lake Fork. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service. Historically a strong cold front will shut the bite off when the water temperature is 43 degrees or lower. Expect the crappie to become stationary to reserve energy. If the water temperature drops into the 30s a shad kill is possible. If this happens crappie will feed on the shad and follow the fish deep to feed. Target the lower two-thirds of the lake. Crappie are good in the river channel timber. The best approach is a light line with an ⅛ ounce jig. Report by River Bottom Boys Guide Service.
