September Meeting of The Well Armed Woman




The September meeting of the Lake Fork Chapter of The Well Armed Woman had 21 ladies dodging thunderstorms and rain.  The range was closed due to lightening but the fundamentals continued indoors.   Tables were set up as shooting lines and targets were taped to the wall.  Short scenarios were practiced to see how directions could be followed.  Several learned they needed more practice in simply following directions.  It was a fun exercise to say the least.

The evening program continued…the NRA Winchester Challenge was covered in detail.  Target scoring was explained and handouts of each of the rockers that could be earned was further explained.  A large chart was introduced to show the levels and rockers each has earned.  This not only gives incentive for each to work harder it gives a sense of accomplishment when the rockers are received.  One member is working hard to show her son-in-law that she really is an Annie Oakley!

Please join us next month (October 6th) for a holster program.  You will be able to see firsthand what holster is best for you.  Non-members are welcome but you will need to be a member before you can shoot…it’s an insurance requirement. We shoot at 4pm and our meeting will begin at 6pm.  For more information contact  Peggy York, Lake Fork Chapter Leader at 903-473-2185.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.10 feet above pool. Bass are good early morning around grass with frogs, buzz baits and poppers. The offshore bite is best right now with fish coming from 12-25 feet on humps, ridges, road beds and points with Carolina rigs, flukes, big worms, Texas rigs and big crankbaits. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at midday when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Drop a clouser on an isolated cover for black bass. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet, clousers are a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing is improving as we enter the summer pattern. Loads of small fish under 10 inches are still being caught daily, but a lot more large fish are stacking up on brush piles, tire reefs, artificial structures and the base of trees. You can still find some fish on bridges, underwater bridges and road beds in 16-26 feet. Minnows, small hand ties and soft plastics are all working. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
