GOOD. Water cloudy to clear; 86-95 degrees; 0.49 feet below pool. Bass can be caught mid morning in 5-7 feet on the first drop-off, tree line or point. Square bill crankbaits are good in 2.5 bream patterns. Carolina rigs are good midday on points and road beds in 15-18 feet. Deep crankbaits are good in the same areas and deeper in 22-25 feet deep in staging areas. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Short early and late topwater bite around grass lines near ledges, creek channels and points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bream are shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Brush piles are the key to big bass. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been tough this summer. We are seeing huge schools of black crappie loaded up on brush piles, laydowns, tire reefs and underwater bridges. These fish are very finicky and hard to get to bite. Small minnows, small hand tied jigs and small plastics may help get the bites. You may also need to weed through numbers of short fish to get some keeper crappie. The white crappie are on timber and some brush in 12-40 feet but you have to cover water and find the right areas holding fish. Some of those fish will bite better and some will not bite at all. We should see the bite getting better when the water and air temps begin to cool down in September and October. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
