Fork Fishing Report
- Jul 30, 2025
- Water stained; 90 degrees; 0.27 feet above pool. Early morning bite has slowed down a bit but main lake points and shorelines with pond weed are best with poppers, frogs and some spook-type baits. Offshore bite is good in 12-18 feet on road beds, points, and humps with Carolina rigs, power shaky heads and Texas rigs with big worms. Deep crankbaits over these areas are also working with DD 22 in shad patterns. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Topwater bass bite is good the last 2 hours of daylight using poppers and frog patterns. Daytime fishing around boat houses for catfish and bream using cone heads and clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service.
