| About: -
Largemouth bass are the most popular sportfish on Lake Fork Reservoir. A
combination of restrictive harvest regulations, stocking of Florida
strain largemouth bass, and good habitat has contributed to Lake Fork's
development as one of the country's premier trophy bass lakes. More than
65% of the Texas Top 50 largest bass, including the current state
record, were caught from Lake Fork.
Crappie
fishing is generally good, especially in standing timber and under the lake's
numerous bridges. (more on Lake Fork)

FISHING REGULATIONS Special regulations govern the harvest of largemouth bass at Lake Fork. Currently, bass 16 inches and shorter and 24 inches and longer (16 to 24 inch slot length limit) can be harvested with a daily bag limit of 5 fish, of which only 1 fish can be 24 inches or greater. Crappie harvest is also restricted by a special regulation. During the months of December, January and February, the minimum length limit is waived but harvest is regulated by a 25-fish daily bag limit. The first 25 crappie caught, regardless of size, must be retained; culling is not permitted. From March through November, harvest is controlled by a 10-inch minimum length, 25-fish daily bag limit. The harvest of all other sport fishes is controlled by statewide regulations.
