Water Level Details
GOOD. Water Stained; 57 degrees; 0.10 feet below pool. Water temperature is 54-59 degrees in most places. Shallow bite is good all over the lake with chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, senkos, and flukes are very good in 1-3 feet. Squarebill crankbaits are good in 2-4 feet on flats and near ditches. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Catching small bass shallow with baitfish streamers. Larger females will become more active as warm days continue around structure and brush. The crappie should be moving shallow and Wooly buggers can be a good choice. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork water temperatures are headed upward, hopefully for good this week. There are tons of prespawn crappie and some active spawning fish. You can find fish shallow in the afternoons and that should get better all day long this week. Lots of fish are still to be found in the 6-20 feet range. This week there were numbers of roaming crappie not relating to structure. Hand tied jigs, soft plastics and minnows all will work now if you get the bait close to the fish. Recent rains still have the north ends of the lake muddy or stained, so you need to focus on getting bait right on fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
