Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 18)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.38 feet above pool. The water level is up and murky in the east and west arms, but clear mid lake. Topwaters early are good with poppers and frogs around weeds or grass. Bass are good mid morning with shaky heads, and crankbaits on points with 1.5-2.5 square bills in 3-5 feet around bream beds. Caroling rigs and power shaky heads and Texas rigs are good offshore around points and road beds or humps 18-25 feet. 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 getting better and better as we get deeper into 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.
