The fishing on Lake Fork this week has been good for big fish. With the last few days of warm weather, the bass have made a major move to the shallows to spawn. Also there has been two fish over 13lbs that were weighed in. To say the least, the spawn is on hear on Lake Fork. Most of the fish we are catching right now are in 2 to 5 ft. of water over the spawning flats. Today we had 22 bass, one that weighed 9lbs. 7oz and one weighed 8lbs. 3oz. All these fish came on a Watermelon Red Baby Brushhog. The way we are fishing the Brushhog is on a Texas rig with a 1/8oz weight. This week we have also caught fish on a June bug Trick worm fished wacky style. Good areas to try right now are Chaney Branch, Little Caney, and Wolfe Creek. These areas have been producing some good fish this week. So far with a cooler than usual March, April is lining up for some great spawning action. Lake Fork is full and in great shape water temp today at noon was 61. One mistake that I see a lot of fisherman make this time of year is fishing too fast. Once these fish start spawning, there strike zone is small and with a slow presentation you will have a much more successful day. So if you are looking for some great Spring fishing, Lake Fork is the place to be.
