Fishing Time is Here!

After a long cold winter spring has finally sprung here on Lake Fork.  I have enjoyed some good catches in the past few days due to the warming water temperatures.

Hello Everybody,

Ephesians 3; 16 That He would grant you, according to the riches of His Glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man.

Water temps have been running in main lake 58-62deg. Water is clear. On north end of lake water temp has been 62-63deg. Water is muddy here except in far back. Bass are moving up in shallows to spawn. Been catching black bass up to 8lbs

Hello Everybody,


John 10: Verse 10; The thief cometh not but for to steal, kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life and may have it more abundantly.

The fishing is getting hot at Lake Fork right now with warmer temperatures finally arriving and water temperatures increasing to a range adequate for the annual spawn to take off. This is a relief after all the dismal cold days that we have had this winter. I can’t remember a year that I wore thermal underwear for as many consecutive fishing days as I have this year. I am not going to put them up just yet though as it is spring and you just never know when the next cold blast will strike.

Wanted you all to know about this new tournament  exclusively for fly fisherman targeting largemouth bass.  It is on May 8, 2010  at Lake Fork and they\'re looking for a record bass caught by fly rod.  They are planning  seminars, casting contests, and prize drawings so it should be fun.
