Water temps are slowly creeping up, 41.4-44.8 was the range of last week…fishing was terrible…
I have had several people ask me why there have been no sharelunkers from Fork so far this year, aside from the 15.70 caught thanksgiving day (released) big fish (12lb+) have been very sparse. Most guides and locals are running to welsh and monticello for the powerplant action and the remaining fisherman on Fork are crappie guys or people prefishing for the Lake Fork “Dinkmaster” style tournaments.
Normally the trap bite turns on at 50 degrees and stays productive well into early March. I’m a little lost on what to do with the water hyacinth being so thick in 2 of the areas I frequent this time of year…If you can please attend the TPW meeting Feb 4th, 2010 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Land’s End Fire Department.
