Fork Fishing Report

GOOD. normal stain; 63 degrees; 2.45 feet below pool. The morning bass bite has slowed due to cool fronts and dropping water temperatures. Midmorning squarebill crankbaits and spinnerbaits around deeper grass and timber in 4-6 feet is fair. Work Viper XP jigs on big timber in the creeks and ditch edges in 7-10 feet of water. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Black Bass are beginning to school in open water. Frog and baitfish patterns are working well. Cooler nights have dropped water temperatures and bass are cruising. Streamers are enticing bass early and late. Bream are shallow, so try small hoppers. Sand bass are schooling mid-lake. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie are good as the fish transition to a fall and winter pattern. Fish can be found throughout the lake in 10-40 feet of water. Seeing lots of fish still on brush piles, underwater bridges and shallower trees in 10-20 feet. We also still have fish on some lay downs in big numbers. Also look for fish on timber in 18-40 feet along creek channels, flats and the edge of timber lines. Small hand tied jigs actually out fished minnows this week on my boat but any crappie baits will get you bit as water temps cool down. We should see fish on mid lake bridges as the fish migrate towards deeper water chasing the bait fish. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
