Fish the bass that apawn in the top of forks in treetops in 20' to 35' of water and you will never have anyone around you. Look for forks five feet under the surface.

Look at your map and go to a part of the lake that isn't as easy to get to as others. The creeks with boat lanes to the back with be fullest. Places that you have to idle a ways to fish have fewer boats. Thats what i did yestwrday, went way, way up the west fork. Idled a long way. The water temp was 57.8 and looked like chocolate milk. No bites, the wind got to howling and it took forever to get out. Only saw one other boat up there good tomorrow when I'm on the west side not be able to tell I brought the polluted water from ray hubbard I flew over Ray Hubbard today and it was chocolate milk from rowlette creek to past BPS. Very distinct line of yuck

Fork will be considerably more crowded than it typically is but with that being said, there's still plenty of water to fish. The Megabass in a few weeks will have over 1500 boats entered. That's about half of the boats that fish the McDonald's. It won't be that crowded but it will be cozy. But really, who cares. It's Fork and it's springtime. Go fish, enjoy the 80 weather and have fun.

If you can find NoName creek it is not usually as crowded as some of the other places and it can hold big fish.

If you have never fished Fork on a Saturday during spring break prepare to be shocked. Nothing can prepare you for the carnage that is Lake Fork in the Spring. LOL All I can tell you is to take a giant Chill Pill before you hit the water. Then try to remember everyone from Massachusetts and Indiana have as much right to the water as you do..... Good luck
