Lake Fork Fishing Reports
Lake Fork Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 19)
GOOD. Water Stained; 50 degrees; 0.11 feet below pool. Water level is a little high and has cooled down to 48-51 degrees. Shallow bite has been fair in 3-5 feet over grass with rattle traps, chatterbaits, and squarebill crankbaits. Shaky heads and dropshots are good around docks in 4-8 feet. Texas rigs and Viper XP Jigs fair around timber near channels in 4-8 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Warm sunny days are dictating black bass movements. Try and target fish where the water is 55 degrees or warmer water. To fly fish for bass try game changers and craw patterns in shallow water. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The Lake Fork crappie bite is really good this week if you can stand the cold weather and beat the winds. Patterns are changing day to day with fish on the move and the weather so up and down. Some days they will stack up on bridges and the next they will disappear. Timber in 14-34 feet seems to be the most consistent pattern. If you find a crappie and hold an artificial bait above it still enough most fish are crushing that bait. Try using hand tied jigs in two different profiles. Smaller profile jigs in deeper water mid lake or on bridges. When you head north to shallower and muddier water switch to longer and bigger profile jigs. Try to fish lighter, more neutral colors in deeper water and darker colors in shallower water. Soft plastics and minnows will still get you bit as well. We should see the fish push shallower and shallower over the next few weeks with warmer temps in the forecast after the next week. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
