I'm planning a couple of guided trips for fork over the next year. Any suggestions on time of year? I'm new to targeting LM bass and would like some insight. Any help is appreciated!

When the water cools down and the turnover is done, late Oct- mid Nov.

And mid May - late June


Both of those time periods you can fish deep, shallow or mid depth.

I wouldn't recommend March or April unless you want to compete with 3000 other people fishing and most aimlessly chunking at the bank and being totally oblivious to the world around them. A lot of people only fish Fork during the spawn, it's a 3 ring circus staring dumb and dumber as the feature entertainers...

Late Feb or March with a full or new moon. Go during the week because Fork is a circus on the weekend during this time. I have been in July and August and seen some monsters pulled in(9+)fishing deeper water but the numbers are low . Thats ok for me because I target big fish mostly unless my son is with me.

April and may are going to be your most consistent months. Less chances of cold fronts affecting the bite. April fish will be on beds and in may there is an awesome topwater bite!
