Lake Fork Fishing Reports
Lake Fork Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 11)
GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.38 feet above pool. Morning bass bite is good on main lake points with topwaters. There is a good bite with frogs and buzzbaits around grass or flooded weeds. Target points and flats mid-morning with square bill crankbaits in 3-5 feet of water. Midday the offshore bite has been good with fish on road beds, points, high spots and hard bottoms. Carolina rigs are best in 15-25 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at midday when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Drop a clouser on an isolated cover for black bass. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet, clousers are a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing on Lake Fork is heating up just like the temperatures. The fish are really ganging up on the structure in 14-32 feet. White crappie are in timber and brush piles. Black crappie are loaded up on rock piles, tire reefs, brush piles, laydowns, underwater bridges, road beds, docks and regular bridges. Not every structure has fish on it, but the ones that do tend to have a lot. Still seeing tons of fish just under 10 inches but the larger fish are joining the smaller fish more and more each week. Crappie are still biting minnows, hand tied jigs and soft plastics. Reports of some crappie biting larger bass baits when anglers are fishing in areas with a large concentration of bigger crappie. It is a great time to get out and load the cooler with some tasty slabs. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
