Planning a trip the middle of March and this lake looks inviting. Any recommendations on fishing and lodging there.

Lodging - Bonham. That's pretty much it. There may be a few Bed and Breakfast type places, but Bonham is only 15 - 20 minutes from the ramp.
Fishing - Fish Shallow Trees - There are a ton of them on the "upper" - Western end of the lake and in the backs of the other creeks. In March, it should be full-on SPAWN going on. Find protected coves and look for beds.

Its a fun lake. A lot of 2-3 pound fish. Fished it maybe 6 or 7 times when the lake first opened. Great numbers of fish but dont go expecting to catch anything bigger than 5 pounds. Its a fun lake- kinda reminds me of a power plant lake.

I'll set some realistic expections... The new lake effect is gone and has now worn off. The majority of fisherman are getting skunked or catching less than a handful of fish. Come out here and try and say I was right later.

Yes. Fork has not been good to me in recent years either. Used to really have good fishing there at night with plastic worms

Lots of sad faces at the ramps, it’s a flat out tough bass fishery now that they’ve spread out. The one thing that hasn’t changed, it’s still a world class crappie fishery. Heading there for a couple trips this weekend, will report back how it was.

Heading there for a couple trips this weekend, will report back how it was. I just got from my first crappie trip on the lake. The amount of timber on that lake is insane. First time in a long time that I have caught crappie and never hooked into a white or yellow bass. I can only imagine how it will be to fish that lake during the spawn.
