Introduction to Lake Fork
Lake Fork is a widely respected reservoir, located in Emory, Texas, that anglers of all experience levels enjoy fishing, whether recreationally or competitively. Regarded as one of the ideal reservoirs for largemouth bass fishing, Lake Fork has produced, and continues to produce, some of fishing's largest, most aggressive largemouth bass. Anglers from all over the United States visit Lake Fork to land that lifelong-sought largemouth bass that reaches sharelunker status.
Due Lake Fork's immense popularity, many angler tournaments are fished on this lake each weekend, even during the colder winter months, when the bass tend to congregate together, suspending over deep offshore structure. One of this lake's challenges comes in the form of a slot, designed to ensure Lake Fork's quality of fish remains undisturbed, providing a perfect environment for lunker genetics to persist despite ongoing angler pressure. This slot makes it difficult to compete in tournaments, often forcing competitive anglers to seek 14 inch to 16 inch largemouth bass, which often effects five-fish limits.
Many different fishing techniques and fishing baits are used on this lake: drop shot, Carolina rig, Texas rig, football jigs, shaky head jigs, finesse jigs, spoons, and so much more. Flooded with an abundance of structure and cover, Lake Fork offers fishing anglers many opportunities to improve their overall techniques since so many different fishing techniques can be used at any given time - shallow or deep water fishing, too.
If you plan on visiting Lake Fork, be wary of stumps once out of the boat lanes. These submerged stumps are extremely dangerous, so always proceed slowly once you've left the boat lanes.
