Lake Fork Fishing Reports
Lake Fork Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 29)
GOOD. Water Stained; 50 degrees; 2.26 feet below pool. Bass fishing has slowed after the recent cold fronts and you need to be very slow in your approach. Squarebill crankbaits and rattletraps are fair in 3-5 feet of water along the edge of grass. Texas rigs and Carolina rigs are best along the edge of grass as well in 3-7 feet of water. Suspending jerkbaits is starting to work as the water temperatures decline. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Fall weather has arrived so fish will start to prepare for cold weather. Black bass are moving deep for the winter. Cast clousers, ned rigs, and large worm patterns in flooded tree tops near creeks and deep water ledges. Crappie are moving out to the open water in 30 plus feet of water biting small jig patterns. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork continues to be as good as ever. Look for fish in big numbers moving as they head toward the deep water winter pattern. Look for timber along main lake creek channels in 28-40 feet right now for numbers of fish and some big fish mixed in. Minnows will work well but they are biting small hand tied jigs and larger plastic baits as well now that the surface water temps have dropped. We are still seeing some fish on brush and lay downs from time to time. Bridged have been up and down the last few weeks but they can be worth checking out for numbers of black crappie. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.

The second tournament of the 2023 season is literally the worst tournament results since January 2014 where only 6 anglers fished with about the same results.

Fly Fishing in the wintertime for Black Bass
It’s wintertime, the weather is freaky and so are the bass. Deep, lethargic, and not very interested in eating. Black bass cop a bad attitude when the...

Brrr. Pretty strong cold northerly winds greeted the anglers at the 8 AM start and never really let up all day until quitting time at 3 PM. But even though there were skunks' fish were caught on a variety of...

The first 5 fish limit tournament for the 2023 season is over and it was an improvement from most of the ones held since Sept 22 but the weights were light. It may have been due to the full moon, or perhaps...

The weather was great. Ok so it was 33 when they started but it really didn't affect the fishing that much. Except for one angler EVERYONE ELSE struggled. Which has pretty much been the story since the end of...

A long year is coming to an end today. Yes, we did skip some tournaments in January and February when the weather was really bad. But we are mostly seniors and taking care of the health of our members is more...

Wind is not always a bad thing. When you watch the pros on TV they are always wishing for some wind to mask their baits in the water but today and actually all this week it was way to windy. However, the fish...

Great day. weather wise. But the actual fishing is still seems to be in a bad fall pattern. That is real SLOW. A lot of anglers sat it out because of the Sealy Tournament this weekend with many pre-fishing...

Well, the weather was great. Cool this morning with light winds. Usually the story is about the "Haves" and have nots. Today it is sorta turned upside down.
But the fishing really was bad except for two nice...

Kind of a perfect day. Clouds, light winds and not too hot. The story on the water was all about the haves and have not as usual. A tough day for most with the lake at about 5' low.
We fish three rotating...
