Lake Fork Fishing Reports
Lake Fork Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 21)
GOOD. Water Stained; 78 degrees; 6.06 feet low. Water has warmed back up with the weather. This has slowed the topwater bass bite. Bass are fair early mornings with spinner baits and flukes in 2-4 feet of water on windy points, or 5-7 feet of water if there is now wind. Carolina rigs and shaky heads best around timber on the drops on points and ridges with flukes and 7 inch worms. Shaky heads are good with 4-inch june bug finesse worms, with a few catches using square bill crankbaits. Afternoon has been fishing fair with mid running crankbaits in 7-12 feet of water. Report by Lake Fork fishing guide Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Pro. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been heating up this past week. We are seeing solid limits of bigger white crappie stacking up on trees in 18-26 feet of water. Getting some brush pile fish to bite as well on some days in 12-18 feet of water. Laydowns are loaded with black crappie most days, but slow to bite. Minnows continue to be the most productive baits, but hand tie jigs are catching some fish. Soft plastics should begin to produce as the water temperature drops for the fall months. Report provided by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.

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...

So, the big worry was that with the lake coming up almost three feet from the deluge, what would it do to the fishing? Apparently not much when you look at the totals of the top 5. Weather didn't get to hot...

They said it might rain. At Last. And about 10 AM we got a pretty good shower. Water temp at 86 and for us it was a struggle. The story on the water was all about the haves and have not.

What a perfect morning for mid-summer. Nearly no wind, clouds, and fairly cool right up until the heavy fog started. But the fish were biting. for most. And the co-angler winner caught most of his fish...

I'd sure like to tell you a story about today's fishing. But unfortunately, the fellow I was going with couldn't raise the motor enough to get the toter off. After much stuff Perry at Service marine in Emory...

It was blowing pretty good out of the south at registration and never really got better during the morning. But despite that the fish were biting for most. And some good ones too. Lots of small slots were...

The weatherman said it won't get to 100 today and we might have a storm. He was right about the storm. For the second Thursday in a row, we had thunder and rain. But luckily for us it came with 15 minutes to...

At registration it was lightning off to the east. Looking at the various weather channels on our phones it appeared to be coming out of Sulphur Sporings and headed south-east. No worry for us. Our boat...

Heat. Is the main reason we are fishing from 6 AM until noon. And for the most part the morning bite has been pretty good right up until this Thursday. At least there was a breeze. When I got back to my truck...

No wind at the 6 AM start was a first for us in 2022. But thank fully, we did get a nice breeze out of the north around 8 AM when the temperature was climbing.
The lake is still down about 6' and dangerous if...

Do you think there will ever be a time when we can trust the weatherman? They forecasted 6 MPH out of the south. It was blowing 15 MPH out of the west and a real pain when you are in a boat without a working...

There are certain things you shouldn’t do in the wind and sometimes that includes fishing.
A friend of mine told me today that he’s been waiting for the wind to lighten up so he could go...

Light winds out of the east (you know east is usually least) was a big change after weeks of strong winds and storms.The lake is still down about 6'. The recent rains didn't help at all.
We need to announce...

We probably shouldn't have launched. The forecast was for a big bad front with high winds and lightning. Fished for about 30 minutes within sight of the ramp and it came in with a big blow and some lightning....

I’m often asked, when is the best time of the year to flyfish in Texas. Personally, I prefer to fish when the fish are biting anytime, but the top water bite reigns supreme for almost all fly fishers...

Winnndy. Did I say it has been windy? Blowing pretty steady around 20 mph
The lake is still down about 5.5', but if you are careful and follow your trails if local or stay near the marked boat lanes you...
