Hey y'all - I'm gonna be taking a trip to visit family that live near Lake Fork and no way I'm gonna be that close and not wet a hook!!
Hoping I could get some advice on what colors work good out there so I can tie up a few jigs for me and my dad to use while we're there.
I'd start with three color schemes: natural, white/chart and black/chart. Good luck to you and your dad.
Sweet - those all work well where I usually fish, too. Thanks for the info!Quote:

Minnow is the best color I have used there.
A few pics of our catch. Fished from sunrise to lunch. I was using white/chartreuse, my dad was using black/chartreuse. Found them all up close to submerged timber 15-20 feet down in 20-25 FOW. My biggest was 2.29 lbs and my dad's biggest was just under that. It was a good day.

There's one thing I hate about Fork and that is it's too far away from me.....
As far as colors add all recommended colors and some to your arsenal but don't get lock into what worked in the past, be opened minded and let the feesh tell you what they want at the time you're on the lake...... Works very well.....
That lake grows'um BIG and lots of'um.....
