Lake Fork Fishing Reports

Lake Fork Fishing Report 

Lake Fork is offering prime fall fishing conditions, making it a top destination for anglers, particularly those targeting largemouth bass. As water temperatures dip into the low 70s, bass are becoming more active, especially in the morning and late afternoon. Shallow areas near grass beds, timber, and creek channels are producing great results, with topwater lures like buzzbaits and frogs effective during early hours. Later in the day, anglers are having success with crankbaits and jigs along deeper ledges and structure. Crappie fishing is also picking up, with catches being made around brush piles in 15-20 feet of water using jigs and minnows. Catfish action remains steady, particularly for channel and blue catfish on cut bait near creek mouths and shallow flats.
