I will be running a fall/winter special on my full day trips starting November 18th - Feb 1st . If you are looking to get out for some fall/winter fishing, I would love the opportunity to put y'all on some fish. I will also be running a few trips on Lake Welsh this winter if you are interested.

LAKE FORK REPORTThe water level on Lake Fork is currently 401.22 and the surface temperature where I have been fishing is anywhere from 69 to 75 degrees. T
Typical fall pattern with a lot of fish moving up in the backs of creeks. Healthy amount of bait moving in and the fish are right behind. Size of the fish have not been what I would like to see, but the numbers are solid and we're catching some great unders.
SHALLOW 1 - 6 foot
The 3 main baits I am using to catch the fish chasing bait up shallow have been. ( about 3/4 the way back in the creeks)
Top Water - smallest you can get away with (Shad Colors)
Square Bill - smallest you can get away with (Shad Colors)
Rattle Trap - smallest you can get away with (Shad Colors)
The fish seem to be schooling better on the sunny & windy days. On the overcast days, I am throwing a small drop shot.
