Lake Fork Guide David Vance Trophy Bass Fishing Report




With the last few days of warm weather, the bass have made a major move to the shallows to spawn, and with the new flooded vegetation and cover this should be one of the best spawns in years. Most of the Bass we are catching right now are in 3 to 5 feet over the spawning flats. With a colder than usual March, April is lining up for for some great spawning action. Marvin Kauh from Houston fished with me yesterday and today and we put 44 bass in the boat, and Marvin caught 3 over seven pounds and one that weighed 7lbs.14oz. What a great two days of fishing, all these fish came on Brush hogs. This week we have also caught fish on a June bug Trick worm and a Watermelon Red senko fished wacky style. Good areas to try right now are Chaney Branch, Bell Branch, North West Bay,.Long Branch, Little Mustang, Leafy Branch, these creeks have bass moving on the beds and have been producing some big fish this week. Lake Fork has come up over 4 feet and is in the best shape I have seen it in a long time. With March being so cold we are going to see the spawn go into May, and with the lake almost full and all the new cover April, May, June, the fishing is going to be awesome!!

So if you are looking for some great Spring fishing, Lake Fork is the place to be.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.10 feet above pool. Bass are good early morning around grass with frogs, buzz baits and poppers. The offshore bite is best right now with fish coming from 12-25 feet on humps, ridges, road beds and points with Carolina rigs, flukes, big worms, Texas rigs and big crankbaits. 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. Lake Fork crappie fishing is improving as we enter the summer pattern. Loads of small fish under 10 inches are still being caught daily, but a lot more large fish are stacking up on brush piles, tire reefs, artificial structures and the base of trees. You can still find some fish on bridges, underwater bridges and road beds in 16-26 feet. Minnows, small hand ties and soft plastics are all working. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
