I plan on heading to Lake fork Monday for the first time. Is there any advice for places to launch and places/techniques that have been paying off up there? Any kind words of advice? I have always wanted to fish this lake and will finally get a chance to get up there and fish. Also, does anyone know if LFT will be open Monday the day after Christmas. I would like to stop and a check the place out and maybe pick up some things.

Thanks

You should check with Cameron at Lake Fork Marina. He is on the Forum all the time and can give you some good advice.

Take someone with you who has been there before.

154 ramp is good. Check Tom Reddington's recent fishing report. Seems like most of the decent reports are fish coming deep on spoons, deep cranks, and rigs. Good luck, hope you get Fork addicted!

Shoot me a PM with you # if you want to. When I get caught up I'll give you a call. Pake and I might sneak out there monday too.

Take this man up on his offer. All the info you will need.

You aint gonig to put Pake on him are ya - lol

I have seen Pake's catches. There is no way I could hang with him.. I am pretty sure we will see that kid on TV one day. PM sent by the way. Thanks for the offer

Be careful out there. Lake is about 7'+ low. Lot of extra dangers out there. Even in some of the boat lanes. Being new to the lake, be extra careful.

Good luck out there and let us know how it goes!

No shame in idling. . . take your time, fish, have fun... dont be frustrated if you dont catch 27 ten pounders in the first 30 minutes. Fork is a fantastic fishery, part of what makes it so (in my opinion) is its ability to humble even the best of anglers, forcing them to figure out the fish. Love The Fork.

What Sheb is trying to say is he gets humbled a LOT on Fork.

These are waypoints of stumps that i copied from earlier posts for my trip this year. All were from the guides or frequent visitors, etc. Hope this helps
