Lake Fork
Fishing Report

Lake Fork has an excellent reputation for big bass and cats. The current record for largemouth on Lake Fork is BIG, weighing in at 18.18 pounds pounds, 25.50 inches. That fish was caught by Barry St. Clair in January, 1992. Like most fisheries in Texas, you're chances are better when the temps are more moderate. If you just can't resist fishing in the dead of summer, night fishing Fork can be pretty productive. 

The record Blue Catfish stands at 71.5 pounds, 52.50 inches caught in 1995 by Tony Shamburger. And the Flathead record is a whopping 80 pounds, 49 inches caught by Sam Cotton in 2015.
