I don't recall ever having an August where it was comfortable enough to fish in the afternoons. But this is definitely the year for it. With high temps in the 80s and cloud cover most days, we don't have to wait until after dark to fish. The fish definitely like these cloudy/rainy ...

Lake Fork looks good right now. The current lake level is 402.77. Full pool is 403 feet above sea level. So it is just about full. The wind direction has been inconsistent, rarely blowing the same way for more than a couple of days at a time. So the water hasn't been very clear, ...

I went to Fork yesterday afternoon and found water temps from 56 to 60 degrees. Fishing was slightly better than it has been. And it will continue to get better every day that gets the water a little warmer. But its still a month away from my favorite time. And we don't have ...

Every winter, the water temp drops down to 50 degrees or below and the fishing slows down considerably. Normally, that happens before Christmas. This year, it didn't happen until the end of January. But it did happen!

At 52 degrees, we were catching great numbers ...

It's hard to believe, water temps are still mid-50s on Lake Fork this late in the winter. So the fishing is much better than normal. In a normal winter, almost all the fish are bunched up in 40ft of water and basically hibernating (very slow fishing). I expect them to get in ...

This has to be the warmest December ever. Here it is December 23rd and the water temp is still 58 degrees. Normally, I'll talk people out of fishing Fork this late in the winter because the bite is so slow and I want my customers to get their money's worth. But this year it's ...

This last front really got the bass turned on. We could have easily got 100 bass (not counting white and yellow bass) today. We probably got 80 today and we left em biting several times in search of bigger bass. Unfortunately, the big one got away this time (shook a deep diving ...

Lake Fork had a great spawn this spring. In fact, 2015 may be the best spawn Lake Fork has seen since it was impounded. We had several years of low water, so the weeds and brush grew thick on the bank. Then, it went from over 7 feet low in February to a foot high in May. So ...

We just got back from a family vacation, so I don't know how well the fish were biting this week. But last week, we had 4 nights in a row with a fish over 8 pounds. So I was able to end on a good note before going on vacation. I try to take vacation in August because it is typically ...

Lake Fork looks great for the first time in many years. In February, it was over 7 feet low. Now, it is about 5 inches high - and we're catching fish on most of my old spots. This has been my best year since 2010. We boated 6 double digit bass in the spring, and got another ...

This has been a typical up and down season. Water was cold and 7ft low in February. In March, it came up 4 feet and muddied up most of the lake. By the end of March, fish started moving up on the beds in the clearer areas. Now, the lake is looking good and we're seeing quite ...
