Lake Fork Anglers Results From July 28




It was blowing pretty good out of the south at registration and never really got better during the morning. But despite that the fish were biting for most. And some good ones too. Lots of small slots were caught along with a couple of bigger fish.

But the lake level is starting to be a problem. Down almost 7' right now and losing an inch every day. Without some really big rain event the lake will probably be down 8-9 fee by the fall. NOT GOOD!

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

So, you'd like to fish at Lake Fork but don't really have the $500 for a guide. You can come and fish with us for a $20 entry fee and a $20 donation for your boater. Unless you are a boater. Annual dues are also $20. Our group of boaters will be able to put you on fish most of the time.

The LFA fishes every Thursday except T-Day and Christmas on 2 different formats. A 5 fish limit we call LFA and a MLF style format where every fish counts, we call Hard Core, 3 special tournaments and an end of year dinner.

Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 4)

GOOD. Water Stained; 70 degrees; 2.48 feet below pool. The early morning bass bite is slow, but moving baits work around ditches and small creeks. Chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, square bill crankbaits are best in 3-5 feet. Texas rigs and Viper XP jigs are good on big wood near channels and drop offs 3-7 feet best. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Cooler water so now have deeper fish. Black bass are slow in 5-10 feet of water with Clousers with a sinking tip line are your best bet. Focus on creek bends and drop-offs. Small streamers and top water patterns might catch active bass in creeks on warm days. Report by Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork. Lake Fork water temperatures have finally dropped into the upper 50s and the big fish are showing up and showing off. This week we have fish all over the lake in depths from 12-58 feet. You can find big numbers of black crappie at the base of shallow trees in 12-18 feet in the mid lake areas. Sometimes you will find white crappie in the same trees suspended halfway down. It is the opposite once you move to deeper water. The black crappie are higher on the trees off shore and the white crappie are further down on the trees. We have seen some bigger crappie in the 2.5 pound range being caught so the winter time big fish season has arrived. The best areas for concentrations of fish are loaded with shad. The bite has been up and down this week but my boat has put the minnow bucket up until next summer. You can still use minnows and they will produce great. Small hand tied jigs are also working extremely well this week. We should also see the aggressive fish hitting plastics and even large baits as the water cools off. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
