Bass Fishing On Lake Fork

Lake Fork is located 75 miles east of Dallas on Lake Fork Creek, a tributary of the Sabine river. It was impounded in 1980 and completed filling in 1985.  Lake Fork covers 27,700 surface acres. The current state record largemouth bass (18.18 pounds) was caught from Lake Fork in 1992.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department  began stocking the reservoir with Florida largemouth bass in 1978.

Of the 50 largest bass on record for the state of Texas, 35 (all of the top 6 bass) are from Lake Fork. Number 12 on the list of trophy bass was caught from Lake Fork in Feuary of 1999.

I offer day trips for individual, corporate or group sized parties.  I practice seasonal pattern fishing with personalized attention and instructional techniques.  Tackle can be furnished if necessary. (rods and reels) I furnish the drinks and snacks for the day. I furnish all baits we will be using for our trip. So all you need to do is come to Lake Fork and get in my boat and go fishing!!!

If you have a group, I have several quality guides who work with me to insure your group has a great fishing trip.  

Encourage catch and release using artificial lures only.  If necessary your big bass can be measured and photographed.  Lake Fork's current regulations on largemouth bass is a 16 to 24 slot length limit.  Bass within those lengths must be released.  The daily limit is 5 bass, only one of which can be over 24.
