Major announcement
At 4:30 pm(that's 1630 for you military guys)
Lake fork officially hit 7 feet low ..

Rain Saturday!

Woo Hoo- Should be scooping up those SAL's with a dip net by the weekend.

Need to charge my camera.

Fork is the dead horse. Let's face it. The lake is nowhere close to what it was in the past. It seemed to start when all the grass died years ago. Then the fish die off and without grass it's never recovered. Now that it's going to apparently stay low and possibly get lower it will put further economic strains on the area and be just another lake/water source. I hate it as much or more than anyone because I grew up fishing Fork and have owned a place there for several years but I'm sure I'll join others and try to sell it soon.

Fork is not a dead horse. The fish are still there. They did not all die out. You just have to fish it differently than you did when it had all the grass.

I'm still looking for a good deal on some Fork Beachfront Property.
Please submit any deals you may have.

me too!

Lots of places for sale all around the lake. And some great deals

You just had to do it didn't you. This sends some of these guys in to depression and I am afraid some of them might even become suicidal or homicidal.

SSmagna,
I totally agree that lake is the dead sea so there is no need for anyone to fish out there I think there are far better places for folks to fish...;)

Sounds like people needs to learn how to fish Fork!

I think they are kidding

or get an Airboat

LOL, Yeah , some are real protective. kinda like a ugly sister

SAL today... guess she's ok

If it hits 8ft low the fish will be impossible to catch so catch them while u can

No.....that's nonsense

Decided to go walk the new bank line today and found 8 great crank baits. KEEP CRANKIN

Lake is dead alright,just go fish other lakes and leave o'ld fork for us.

Get use to it. Let the roller coaster of the new Fork lake level begin!

I dont understand this post. I guess you are saying when it hits eight feet low bass will quit eating, if thats true you are right lake is dead you better go fish somewhere else.

Well a 13.88 was caught out of this "dead" lake today. Maybe that will help you sell the place. I know someone looking for a place out there.

A few Summers ago it was 8' low and we caught more big fish then any Summer I can remember.

Yea, but you'd catch fish out of a pot hole Eddie

Eddie you weren't suppose to tell him that. LOL

A simple joke that is all. Don't understand why a lake being 7ft low is ever a thread on this forum. Low water threads especially fork ones are so pointless unless u are posting GPS cords for stumps

Lots of other lakes without pipelines are falling just as fast or faster.

Can I follow you around ? -

Yawn!

Nobody said Fish wouldn't be caught...just that it's getting harder to get to them.

+1

that was a great summer, but it was like 125 degrees every day for 3 months!

Yea you guys are probably right,the lake is dead, I mean with the low lake levels,salt content rising,over-run with snakeheads,aquatic chupacabras,no grass,completely filled with stumps,and the zebra mussels so bad, they instantly
latch on to your TM blade,causing it to lock up,blow fuses and possibly start a electrical fire in the boat
Its just an overall bad deal

Well with it being low, some of the ramps aren't useable now.

I would encourage everyone to head to Oklahoma to fish...Fork is Doomed

Headed down to Fork Wednesday. Looks like it will be beautiful weather. Was there in the spring but didn't have any trouble with boat ramps or running as long as I was in the boat lanes. Reading all these threads about the low water level has me a bit worried though.

How are these boat ramps?

2946
154
515 East

Thanks.

2946 has a drop off at the end of the ramp but you can still launch. Be warned though, there is a shallow bar with rocks in front of the ramp. You might consider dropping and using your trolling motor to get away from the immediate ramp area.

Thanks man.

Seems to me that the lower the water level the fewer places to launch a boat meaning reduced fishing pressure which ought to increase the number of fish in the lake. I could be wrong, maybe.

154 is good to go, rally cant park at the dock anymore, its pretty useless now
515 East is ok, silted in pretty bad,

Popes is good for sure.
