The water level on Lake Fork is currently 100% full (403.28) and the surface temperatures range from 68-74 degrees depending on the day. The lake is overall in great shape setting us up for a terrific summer season.
This past week I have been starting out my mornings fishing various shell beds before heading back to the shallows to check on the last remaining bed-fish and fry guarders. It’s important to note, as of this morning (5-23-21) I am finding we are just about done catching bed fish this time of year. I am doing a lot of running and beginning to check out some deep spots.
We’ve had an epic frog bite here on Lake Fork the last week or so with one client catching a beautiful 9.5 and later a 7 with a bunch of good slot fish mixed in. By the end of the week, we were catching fish out deeper on Crankbaits, C-Rig and Swimbaits. We are still not seeing a whole bunch of fish off shore but starting to catch a few good ones.
If you are planning to come out to Lake Fork here in the next couple of weeks, this report should hold up and help y’all out. Have a great Memorial Day weekend and y’all be safe.
For those of you looking to get out with me for a June/July trip, I still have availability for both months and would love to have you. I‘ll work as hard as possible to put you on fish and show you a great time.
