Only lake better than Fork those days was Lake Cleburne.

Any reports on Lake Cleburne lately? I’m in Granbury but have never fished Cleburne.

haven't heard anything about lake pat , it stays pretty quiet down there for the most part
them local boys don't pass out information much
2 of the local guides that hit it , lie and say they went to another lake
in an effort to keep it less traveled
it is full of crappie

My brother and I split a trip on Fork with Todd Froebe. Todd wanted too fish LOP. I wanted a Big Fish and wanted too fish Fork.

Knew there weren't gonna be numbers, but we were on the rite Lake for a shot at a Giant. Boy they missed the forecast bad

Fished in some Tuff Conditions, chasing roaming Spooky fish. My Lil Bro's 1st ever fork fish was a 2.22 roaming in 4' of water

Ended the Day with 4 over 2lbs

in 4 foot of water ? interesting for sure ....when i hit fork a bit back our big fish was in that range as well .
we dint see none a dem 3 lb fish on our boat fur sure
congrats and KABOOM

I remember when the bass fisherman use to pile up on Fork like a rock concert. The crappie guys keep there mouths shut because they knew what would happen if the word got out. It's and amazing fishery. I can only hope Lake Bois Dar'c is just as good when it opens next year.

yep when it opened it was just us and a few locals with minnows , not hardly a soul fished for the crappie or the monster bluegill
good times , we would sink brush under the big bridge in the heat of the day and then swim a bit and get out and start ripping crappie as soon a we could pick up a rod right off the brush we sank while we were tied up in the shade before we swam

Now THAT is a great time! put brush down, do a lil swimming and relaxing then go back when it was cooler and get to ketchn! Man I want to do a trip to tejas to LOP, Fork and the other great crappie fisheries there.
