As of this post the water level on Lake Fork is at 402.74 and the temperatures where he has been fishing range from 62-65 degrees. If you are looking for cleaner water try fishing mid-lake.

"The last few weeks I have been starting out my mornings around 7:00 am fishing main-lake points in 3-5 ft. Some days I am staying on these points until 11:00 -11:30 and others I am moving back in the pockets by 9:00 am. The two baits I am throwing on these points are early morning baits...

Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 17)

GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 85 degrees; 1.09 feet below pool. Starting to see some turnover in the backs of pockets after the last cool spell. Bass are good on the main lake early in the day with topwaters, chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits until the midday sun. Texas rigs and shaky heads are good around docks and timber in 5-7 feet of water. Carolina rigs are fair on big points with fluke type baits and 7 inch worms in 12-17 feet of water. Deep crankbaits are fair over the ends of deep points and road beds. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service.
