Lake Fork
Lake Fork is truly a trophy bass lake, which is
nestled in northeast Texas. It is host to the state record bass, weighing 18.18 lbs,
caught on January 24, 1993 in 42 feet of water. Lake Fork is also home to 36 of the top 50
bass in Texas weighing over 15 lbs! It is 27,000 surface acres, located between the towns
of Emory, Alba, and Yantis, and is only an 1 1/2 - 2 hours drive from Dallas/Fort Worth,
and a 45 minute drive from Tyler. Lake Fork has an abundance of grass, timber, and other
bass holding habitat, with a good forage base of shad and crawfish. The Texas Parks and
Wildlife originally stocked Lake Fork with mostly pure Florida Strain bass, and today they
continue to stock the lake to insure a trophy bass lake for years to come. As well, a slot
measurement and limit was instituted to protect the larger bass. A daily limit of 5 bass
can be kept, with only one measuring over 22 inches, and all bass between 16 inches and 22
inches must be returned to Lake Fork. Catch and Release has become synonymous with this
prized trophy lake, and as a result has produced quality bass since it's inception.
I am a licensed bass fishing guide on Lake Fork, and have guided 9 years. My largest bass
to date is 13.02 lbs, and many 10 lb+ bass have been caught by my customers. My charge for
a one day trip on Lake Fork is $250.00 for one or two people. I drive a new Triton bass boat. My Triton offers plenty of room
for client storage and equipment. Accommodations can be made for groups with advance
notice, to ascertain other guide availability. If a spring or fall guide trip is
desired, I advise to book guide and motel early. These are very busy times on Lake Fork,
and reservations fill quickly.
