Subject: Lake Fork, Texas
Submitted by Lake Fork Guide Jim Reaneau (ip 63.122.79.6)
Date Fished: 2/14/2002
Water Temperature: 50
Water Clarity: 1 foot Well, the weather has been a little more forgiving. The nights are still cold and the water temp has remained 49 to 53 degrees. The sun has been a little help during the day to take the chill out of the air. The lipless crank bait in red, chrome blue back, and lemon ob. The half ounce has been the best size. The water is stained mid lake back up north. The gates were open this past weekend and should be shut by now. This usually causes the fish to suspend until they are closed. Work the lipless crank bait around the secondary points in the back of the creeks. Fish the bait just fast enough to tick any grass or the bottom. The bite want be much just a heavy feeling. Work the windy points with the same bait and a Johnson spinner bait. The single Colorado blade slow rolled along the points and parallel along the bank. Work it around standing timber on points and along creek channels. “SLOW “is the ticket.
This is also a good time to fish a suspending rogue. Work this bait slow with long pauses in the jerks. Fish all the way out to 10 or 12 foot of water.
The deep fish have not grouped up yet but keep a look out as they will soon bunch up to make a move to the shallows. Remember when you get a strike or catch a fish work this area good as more fish maybe available. Check other areas with the same type of cover or structure.
The crappie have been plentiful on most days for the brave soles. The bridges have been the best areas. Small minnows and jigs have been working in 25 to 35 foot of water.
