May 2010
Hello anglers, April was a great month on Lake Fork. We’ve caught a lot of big fi sh and the numbers have really been good. Right now, the lake is at full pool and in good shape. The grass (Coon Tail and Hydrilla) is beginning to grow.
As the grass and lily pads become more established, the top- water bite will explode! Currently, the fi sh are in all three phases of the spawn (Pre-Spawn, Spawn, Post-Spawn). This makes fi shing a lot of fun because you can catch ’em a lot of different ways. Read the rest of this entry »
April 2010
Hello Anglers,
As I mentioned in my last report, this has been a long tough winter. On the fi rst day of spring, we had snow and sleet! But based on the long-term forecast, it appears that we may have “old man winter” behind us.
I’m sure glad to see some warm weather in the forecast! Water temperatures are beginning to warm and the fi rst wave of spawners are arriving in the shallow spawning flats. Read the rest of this entry »
March 2010
Hello Anglers,

February 2010
Hello Anglers,
February is here and it’s a great time to fish Lake Fork! In February, you can count on there being some Big Prespawn Bass setting up in the shallows and it’s the best time to catch your “Fish of a Lifetime” since the females will be at their heaviest weight. The spawn is just around the corner!! With the Full Moon coming up at the end of the month there’s a strong possibility that some fish will move onto the beds, if we get a warming trend during this period. Read the rest of this entry »
January 2010
Hello Anglers,
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Santa Claus brought you plenty of fishing supplies for the upcoming 2010 season!! January is a great time to fish on Lake Fork! You may not catch a lot of numbers but you could catch your “Fish of a Lifetime”!! Some of the biggest fish of the year are caught during this time. Another reason to fish Lake Fork during January is that very few people are willing to brave the weather and more than likely you will have the entire lake to yourself. Read the rest of this entry »
