I hope you’re doing well and enjoying this beautiful fall weather we’ve been experiencing in North Texas. We are in a typical North Texas fall fishing pattern on Lake Fork. 

We’re fishing mostly on main lake points in the morning and moving to coves and cuts in the afternoon. The fish are feeding for winter, chasing bait fish, and generally cruising from 1 to 5 feet depth. Some fish are being caught deeper on main lake points and humps.

I’m fishing more streamers and swim type baits than the summer. If we find bait fish stacked up in a cove or shoreline then it’s time for topwater action. There are large and small fish feeding on the surface in fast moving schools.

When we see them feeding, we throw into the active area, there are often stragglers hanging around ready for an easy meal of a crippled bait fish. One of my favorite patterns on Lake Fork in the fall is to throw a floating crippled shad pattern, often the fish will strike when the fly is still and not moving.

The water clarity is good and you can see the fish stalk and attack the bait.

We have plenty of dates open this month so give me a call if you want get out on the water. We’ve been spotting lots of Eagles and Deer around the lake.
