The bite on Lake Fork has been up and down for the past several weeks. I have been waiting to post a new Lake Fork fishing report until the bite stabilized, and it looks like it's finally starting to be more consistent. We are starting to see some fish on deeper, main lake structure, and there will be many more heading that way. That will begin one of my favorite times of the year here on Lake Fork. Those fish will be feeding heavily on shad and yellow bass, and they can be caught on a variety of different baits including a jigging spoon, tail kicker, Flutter spoon, and my favorite, the Santone Slamma rig (umbrella rig). Here are a few fish from yesterday's trip: Continue here

Water Level Details
GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.73 feet below pool. Good early morning bass bite around shad spawn areas and with topwater frogs over grass. Midday to mid afternoon work flukes and yum dingers around grass good1-3 feet. New wave of spawners pulling up this week. Carolina rigs fair in 5-10 feet of water on secondary points. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are post spawn and the top water bite is on! Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation. The crappie are moving shallow, small clousers are producing well. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing is settling into the post spawn and summer patterns we should see for the next few months. We are seeing incredible numbers of small black crappie right now loading up on brush piles, lay downs, bridges and docks. The larger black crappie are a little hard to find but you can find some nice groups of them or pick a few out of the smaller fish. The bigger white crappie are beginning to load on the summer pattern trees. We have a tremendous amount of fry covering up a lot of those trees and making it very hard to see those bigger white crappie on forward facing sonar or for them to see your bait. You can find fish in 10-30 feet of water and some may only be 2 feet under the surface or right on the bottom. Minnows and any colored jigs are both producing extremely well.
