Well, I have a decision to make and I need your vast knowledge in helping me decide. I will be headed to DFW for a week next month and I've decided to drag the boat along with me. I am wanting to get two lakes in during my stay. My initial thoughts were Fork and Tawakoni.
I don't get down to DFW near as often as I'd like so I want to maximize the lake opportunities while I'm there. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I would do Fork and maybe Holbrook. Holbrook is a fun little lake. No tawakoni, there are fish ther but it might take some time to figure that out.

A lot of fish being caught on tawakoni but many small fish. I'd fish fork and either Hawkins or holbrook. Both great little lakes!

Benbrook.... Didn't you see they're catching 12.5 pounders out there, then I'd hit up Lake Worth

Fairfield if it's an east/west wind and Hawkins if the wind is north/south--might not have the biggest or most bass, but are more enjoyable to fish (if you enjoy peace and quiet when fishing)

Go to Athens for the numbers and size then go to Fork for that one big bite.

Just fish Fork. You will get to learn the lake with each passing day. Plus, on your next trip out, you will able to prepare better.
Or, fish Fork a couple of days. Then fish Texoma a couple of days. Nothing like catching smallmouth.
Good Luck.
