The LFA club fishes every Thursday with afternoon weigh-in at the SRA Park on Hwy 154 @ 3:00 pm. Two club tournament formats are rotated weekly.  

  • LFA – Best 5 fish format – 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month
  • Hard Core – MLF format –  1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month

All club tournaments are two-person catch and release tournaments with an angler and a co-angler per boat.  Anglers compete against anglers and Co-Anglers compete against co-anglers.

LFA members are mostly retired anglers who can fish weekly tournaments each Thursday. Membership is open to all persons who are physically able to fish and function independently in a boat, whether alone, or as a team member during scheduled Thursday fishing tournaments.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 5)

GOOD. Water Stained; 49 degrees; 0.40 feet below pool. Alabama rigs are good offshore around road beds and jumps and long points in 18-23 feet. Still a few shallow fish in 3-5 feet around channels and ditches with chatterbaits and square bill crankbaits. Viper XP jigs and Texas rigs fair on big wood near channels in 5-10 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Rising water and warm sunny days will kick off the pre-spawn bite for larger male bass in 5-8 feet of water. Focus on creek bends and drop-offs with flooded trees. Slow-retrieved fish patterns on rocky banks on sunny days might be a good plan. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. The Lake Fork crappie bite is improving daily after the huge cold snap and loads of water the lake received the last few weeks. The fish are still very scattered and you will need to cover water to find fish. If you can get a fish to sit still long enough to get a bait over it that fish should bite. Fish seem to be very hungry and we can see fish busting schools of shad apart many times while fishing with LiveScope. Baits do not seem to matter tremendously right now, but artificial baits may be out fishing live bait just because it sits still in the water. The most important thing is to not move your bait. Maybe the shad they are eating are barely moving due to cold water temperatures. Fish can be found all over the lake in water deeper than 20 feet. Have not seen any fish shallower than 20 feet yet but with the warm forecast for the rest of February that may change soon. You can find fish on timber, brush, bridges and roaming in open water chasing shad or just migrating. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
