Lake Fork Anglers Results From August 12




Fishing is definitely getting tougher for the bank beating anglers. But at least it wasn't as hot as it could have been. Overall the fish caught this week were smaller than anytime so far this year.  A record number of anglers fished today since we have resumed after the worse of covid. We have a good setup for social distancing while still being able to fish and enjoy the day.

All fish 10" and up are keepers. Only the best 5 count.

Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 25)

GOOD. Water Stained; 57 degrees; 2.39 feet below pool. Lake level is still low with water temperatures 55-58 degrees. Creek channels and ditches are best with Texas rigs and jigs worked around big wood or lay downs on the edges in 3-8 feet. Suspending jerkbaits is also working in the same areas. Docks are producing some fish. Offshore look for the bass to be on road beds and high spots in 15-22 feet with Carolina rigs and spoons. Report by Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork. The Lake Fork crappie fishing continues to be excellent as the surface temperatures continue to drop. Lots of fish can be found on timber, brush and bridges in 18-58 feet. If you find areas with tons of shad there will be crappie close by. Look for fish migrating towards deeper water that sometimes follow creek channels. The jig bite has kicked in for the winter. Small hand tied jigs are producing extremely well and soft plastics will get you a bite. Minnows are always a go to bait for crappie on Lake Fork. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
