Lake Fork Spring Report 2017




I just wanted to drop in and let y’all know we are sight fishing on Lake Fork! The lake is in phenomenal shape and fishing just the way I like it. Spring time on Lake Fork is absolutely beautiful and offers anglers of all experience levels the opportunity to come out and catch a fish of a lifetime.

The water temps right now on Lake Fork are around 65-67 degrees in the areas I am fishing. Some mornings are still a little cold so make sure to check the weather before y’all come out. Right now I am strictly sight fishing so I am only using a few baits. While I am looking for fish I will either have my clients throw a drop shot (tomato) or weightless fluke (mardi gras) up in the timber and around 3′ to 4′ deep. Once we find a good fish locked on a bed I will pick up the Paca Craw and go to work! (Okeechobee)

I am booked through April but still have plenty of May days open and I would love to have y’all come out and catch some of these beautiful fish. If you are looking to get out in April I am going to start running my evening special a little early this year. For those of you wanting to follow me on Facebook I post there more often. Here are just a few of the great fish we’ve been catching this season.

Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 20)

GOOD. Water Stained; 70 degrees; 2.22 feet below pool. The bass bite is slowing due to the cooler mornings, with water temperature 65 degrees. Topwaters are fair around grass and pond weed. Some fish are coming on chatterbaits, and spinnerbaits out in front of the grass 3-5 feet. Best bite is shaky heads in 3-7 feet around wood or docks. Carolina rigs are fair on ridges and long points in 5-10 feet. Small baits are working best. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are sporadic around vegetation. Small streamers and top water patterns are catching active fish chasing bait. Catfish are shallow around boat houses and brush. Report by Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork. The crappie fishing on Lake Fork is just phenomenal right now going into the early winter months. Fish are throughout the lake in 14-58 feet. We are seeing some black crappie grouped up in numbers. The huge white crappie has been showing off the past month also. We are catching fish on timber mostly and pole timber and Bois D Arc trees are both good. Some fish will be holding to bridges as they migrate as well. Minnows continue to be the best bait, but jigs will work too. The catfish bite on Lake Fork is nothing short of incredible. There are so many catfish in the 20-25 feet range around timber you can almost fish anywhere. If you drop some cattle cubes or sour grain in an area you will be catching fish within 30 minutes on any prepared catfish bait you drop down. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
