Lake Fork Glade Creek Prespawn Fishing Patterns - Video

Hello TFF Bass Fisherman! Right now Lake Fork is fishing better since we have had a few warmer days and will continue to have some sunny warmer weather soon which should stabilize the water temperatures into the high 50s and make the fish even more active as they will move up onto the spawning flats to feed up for the spawn. With the water temperatures currently in the mid 50's on much of the lake I recommend slowly dragging a 3/8 ounce jig or throwing a medium diving flat-sided crankbait in 6-12' creek channels and drains on shallow flats or other north wind protected pockets. I recommend focusing on the back 1/2 of the creeks on the northern 1/2 of Lake Fork. Once the water warms into the high 50s you can expect to start catching bass on a variety of baits in 3 to 6 feet. I prefer to stick with either a chatterbait, squarebill crankbait or a lipless crankbait anywhere that I find grass. Look for Coots on the water, the groups of small black birds as they relate to grass. You are most certain to be around some submerged grass growth which will attract many bass over the next couple months. Watch the video below to see some predominant pre-spawn patterns and fishing locations in Glade Creek. Thanks for watching and be safe on the water.

Great stuff... Thank you for sharing!

When was this 10 years ago?? I don't remember Glade looking like that last time i was there.

Sweet, thanks man

There’s some good 411 in his video. Current or not that area is always loaded with fish early in the spring.

This is how a fishing report is suppose to be done

Thanks SF

thanks Stephen, I am going there tomorrow unless it's really blowing

Good detailed information. Just blow away about the 10xd commit. I would only be able to make one cast in the back half of Glade, and that dude would be gone! lol

There will be a boat show in there Saturday morning if you'd like to show your boat. Admission is free but parking spots will be limited so get there early.

Who is this guy?

Good report.... ^^^^ no doubt about it being a parking lot saturday morning... scratch that off the game plan now.. haha

Lake fork guide.

Per his comments, " See Lake Fork photos taken during 6' low water conditions, good fishing prespawn tips and lures showing you where to go catch largemouth bass."

I think Stephen had to take some time from off from guiding for family and/or health reasons. Good to see Stephen posting videos again.

I haven't seen your videos in a long time. Thank you for sharing!

**** what a great job ****
this is a fisherman that is comfortable with his ability to put his clients on fish and to find fish
to explain in detail for everyone to hear and see with not only patterns but waypoints is very nice

Nice job Stephen

Already a boat show with the talk of the 15 last year and the 13 this year coming from in there. Wish the grass was still like that, it would fish bigger again than what it is now. Everyone is pounding the flooded willows and the little bit of grass in there......creek may be the ticket to get away from the crowds.

Good report Stephen.

Nice post and video and to the TFF!

He is not new to the forum.

Heck of a report.

Fished with Stephen a few years ago. My dad and I had a great time. Keep up the good work bud!

These photos were taken in late September 2014 while I was scouting the lake and creating Lake Fork Guide Lanes so I could navigate the lake with ease when the water came back up to full pool as well as know what the shallows look like with similar photographs. Since I nearly idled the entire lake during the severe parts of the drought I have a few other low water scouting photos that I will continue to share to help some learn the lake better. I think the lake was about 5'-6' low at the time. I appreciate the awesome feedback everyone, thank you.

Thanks for sharing!!

Good stuff!

Done very well, good job.

Very cool... thank you!

VERY NICE

This young man knows how to catch em on Fork, I wish he was still guiding or wanted to take a old man under his wing and teach him how to fish Fork...

Fishing a 10XD in Glade has never crossed my mind. I do use lipless baits and square bills quite a bit in there.

Usually I will have 20-25# line and I'll crawl the bait across the bottom. Another current season pattern/Lake Fork tip I forgot to mention in the video is that stop and go retrieve works great on Fork with a crankbait anytime they are biting them. Try it.

Do you do “special request” guide trips ?
