Whats the best time of year to fish Lake Fork?
• Depends on what kind of fishing a person is looking to do. For the best chance of hooking into a 13+ pound bass anytime between December and May, with the prime big bass months usually being February, March and April. Other than these months for big bass, Lake Fork is a great lake to visit anytime you can, because after all it’s Lake Fork, and you could hook into a trophy bass any month. Any other good fishing besides bass at Lake Fork? • Most definitely! Although bass receive the most publicity at Lake Fork, the lake has great fishing for crappie, catfish and bream. All these species are prevalent and are very catchable for fishermen. Lake Fork ranks right up there as one of the best crappie lakes in the country. What type of fishing license will I need since I’m from out of state? • Non-Texas residents need a temporary (5 day) non-resident fishing license that’s available from most marinas and convenience stores around the lake.
