Fork Fishing Report
- Jan 14, 2026
- GOOD. normal stain; 55 degrees; 3.03 feet below pool. The morning bass bite is slow but improves midday and evening. Chatterbaits, lipless crankbaits, squarebill crankbaits are fair in 3-5 feet along break line and outside edges of docks. Texas rigs and jigs are fair on docks with cover 3-5 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing is nothing short of on fire right now. This is the best time to catch limits of fish consistently with the occasional big fish. Fish are in 14-60 feet of water related to timber, brush, tires, bridges, ledges and points. These fish are very hungry and feeding on shad. Any crappie bait you want to try should work right now. Small hand tied jigs and minnows are working extremely well and soft plastic baits of all kinds should also work. Use small baits most days, but many fish we clean have shad in the 3-4 inch range. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
