I went to the lake on Friday, February 7th with my tournament partner Iain for a day of fishing and filming on the lake for our youtube channel. We spent the day targeting under-sized keepers in shallow water, skipping a wacky rig and chatterbait under docks in the first third of creek arms and throwing them on secondary grass points in the back halves of creek arms in 3-9 feet of water, and we were able to catch 8 total fish, with 6 keeper unders and 2 slot fish, in just a couple hours of fishing. The water temperature on the lake ranged anywhere from 50-53 degrees on the south end of the lake and anywhere from 56-63 degrees on the north end, with the main lake being cooler than the creeks. Water temperature ranged from 2.5-3 feet of visibility on the south end of the lake and 2 inches to a foot and a half of visibility on the north end. The key to the bite was finding clean water, and especially clean water that was warm, and then just covering water up shallow. It was a mostly cloudy day with a southwest wind at about 10 mph all day, with outside temperatures starting in the mid 60's and warming up to about 80 degrees by the time we left. The prespawn bite on lake fork is pretty good right now, so get out there and wet a line!

I went out to the lake on 02/20/22 to practice for my upcoming bass champs tournament on Fork next weekend. The water temperature on the lake ranged from 49 to 54 degrees fahrenheit and the visibility ranged from 8 inches on the main lake to up to 2 feet in some of the protected pockets. It was partly cloudy for most of the day and the wind was blowing pretty strong out of the southwest, probably between 8 and 15 miles per hour all day. The outside air temperatures started off at around 40 degrees and got up to about 70 degrees later in the day. The lake was crowded with a mixture of local anglers, guys practicing for the bass champs event coming up like us, and the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour pro anglers as it was day 1 of competition for group B at the 2nd tour event of the year. We spent the day targeting bigger stumps in 2 to 8 feet of water in creek channel drains at the mouths of spawning pockets. Flipping these stumps with a jig and cranking them with a flat sided crankbait produced 7 bites for us throughout the day, all in the 2 to 3 pound class. It was a decent day on the lake, and it was cool to see some of the pros catch some fish on one of my favorite lakes!
