not huge numbers right now , fish are scattered ,,,,,but they are large
holding really deep in deep water 35 to 40 ....
fish over 3 are hitting the boat decks as i type :highfive
a guided trip might be a good idea if you dont know the lake
might get you a personal best fish :cheers2
KABOOM is the word
if your going that far having a guide show you how it's done is a great way to spend your money.
i went with a buddy who knows most of the local guides well , we chatted with Jerry Hancock and another guide to get an idea or 2Quote:

Not sure , but I will find out , I imagine around the first of March in a few spots .
On a lake that size some spots might be really early and some rather late .
Only if it was closer......I got to fish this lake once and it for sure fits my style of fishn...... Only if it was closer......
to big and stumpy .....you would end up hurting your boat ....Quote:

Fork was one of my three go-to lakes in the 80's when I could trailer my boat. Once a month I would trailer my boat there and sleep in my van Friday and Saturday nights so I could spend the entire weekend fishing there.
Only lake better than Fork those days was Lake Cleburne.
