Lake Fork Anglers Results From December 8




The first 5 fish limit tournament for the 2023 season is over and it was an improvement from most of the ones held since Sept 22 but the weights were light. It may have been due to the full moon, or perhaps the big warm up in December. Whatever it is we will take it.

All fish 10" and up count. Only their best five count. We are now fishing our winter hours. 8 AM to 3 PM.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 19)

GOOD. Water Stained; 57 degrees; 0.27 feet below pool. Fork : Water Temps 54-65 Fish are moving up to spawning areas. Those not spawning can be caught on Chatter Baits and spinner baits in 1-3 ft. Senko and Flukes along the edge of grass are good in 1-2 ft. Texas rigs and Viper XP Jigs are good in 2-5 ft on weeds and big stumps. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Catching small bass shallow with bait fish streamers. Larger females will become more active as warm days continue around structure and brush. The crappie should be moving shallow and Wooly buggers can be a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork water temperatures are headed upward, hopefully for good this week. There are tons of prespawn crappie and some active spawning fish. You can find fish shallow in the afternoons and that should get better all day long this week. Lots of fish are still to be found in the 6-20 feet range. This week there were numbers of roaming crappie not relating to structure. Hand tied jigs, soft plastics and minnows all will work now if you get the bait close to the fish. Recent rains still have the north ends of the lake muddy or stained, so you need to focus on getting bait right on fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
