Lake Fork Anglers Results From August 11




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 including his lunker in under a foot of water. But the boater winner caught his fish in at least 15-20'.

The lake level is a problem. Not so much for fishing but finding workable ramps. Usually there are at least 10 good ramps around the lake. With only about 4 still working that is a lot of crowding.   If this draught continues until the Sealy tournament the lake is going to be a real mess.

 

All fish 10" and up are keepers. Only the best 5 count.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 12)

GOOD. Water Stained; 57 degrees; 0.28 feet below pool. Bass are good in 3-5 feet of water with squarebill crankbaits, and chatterbaits. Texas rigs and Viper XP Jigs are good around big timber in 3-8 feet. Carolina rigs are fair on the main lake and secondary points in 8-15 feet with ring frys. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Warm sunny days are dictating black bass movements. Try and target fish where the water is 55 degrees or warmer water. To fly fish for bass try game changers and craw patterns in shallow water. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The Lake Fork crappie bite is really good this week if you can stand the cold weather and beat the winds. Patterns are changing day to day with fish on the move and the weather so up and down. Some days they will stack up on bridges and the next they will disappear. Timber in 14-34 feet seems to be the most consistent pattern. If you find a crappie and hold an artificial bait above it still enough most fish are crushing that bait. Try using hand tied jigs in two different profiles. Smaller profile jigs in deeper water mid lake or on bridges. When you head north to shallower and muddier water switch to longer and bigger profile jigs. Try to fish lighter, more neutral colors in deeper water and darker colors in shallower water. Soft plastics and minnows will still get you bit as well. We should see the fish push shallower and shallower over the next few weeks with warmer temps in the forecast after the next week. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
