Lake Fork 26 April 2014

Lake Fork is turning on!

Fish appear to be on beds and are a bit tough to catch, but once you find the lure they want... it's hay-day!

My friend Mike Tate and I hit Birch Creek and did fairly well... although the bigger fish were slot fish, we were catching them... up until about noon, at least.

Mike and I landed a few smaller fish and a few slot fish (16", 18" and 20").

The water temperature in Birch was around 72 degrees and slightly less in Wolf Creek. Weightless Senkos, White/Chartreuse Spinners/Chatters were the winners this weekend, although I did talk to one guy who had a couple of 8+ lber's and one over 10lbs off worm and jigs in 5-8 ft of water, right on the stumps.

We were seeing lots of moss...that green slimey crap that jacks up every cast, in most creeks on the southern end of the lake. We did not see much if any on the northern side.

Chris and I will be out this weekend and will have an updated report next week. Good luck to all!
