I would like to welcome everyone to my website. It was designed to showcase my Lake Fork guide services, sponsors and accomplishments.
Filled in 1979 with the primary sporting purpose of being a Bass Haven, Lake Fork exceeded the wildest expectations of sportsman. The 27,700 acre Lake Fork is in the heart of East Texas within 90 miles of the DFW metroplex. Lake Fork holds every record for big bass in Texas. When B.A.S.S. and Hasbro created the Bass Monopoly Game it was none other than Lake Fork that set as the Boardwalk position. There is no fishery that has ever surpassed Lake Fork for quality and numbers of Bass. As a Lake Fork Guide I am proud to be a part of the greatest Lake in the sport of Bass Fishing.
Having twenty three years experience on Lake Fork and success in both FLW and B.A.S.S. events gives me the qualifications to teach you the latest techniques to catch that Lake Fork trophy bass of a lifetime. SO BOOK YOUR LAKE FORK TRIP TODAY ! Call Lake Fork guide Gary Paris at 903-763-2801 or go to contact page to e-mail Gary.

EAST TEXAS FISHING REPORT
East Texas Fishing Report
by Matt Williams
TOLEDO BEND - T-Bend is about three feet low and clear down south, stained up north. Water temp is in the low 50s.
Fishing guide Stephen Johnston said bass fishing has been fair to four pounds along the outer edges of hydrilla beds at the south end of the lake. Deep diving crankbaits and big spinnerbaits slow rolled in 16-22 feet of water are the ticket. A few fish also reported on jigs. Up north, Charlie Shively said bass fishing has been tough since the last front. Shively looks for the shallow bite to improve with the next warming trend.
Shivley said crappie fishing has been good along the edges of Tenaha Creek and the Sabine River. The fish are holding about a foot off bottom in 18-24 feet of water along the edges of the river. In Tenaha Creek, the fish are suspended two feet down around stick ups in 12 feet of water along the edges of the channel.
White bass are still hit and miss up the Sabine River. Shivley said catfishing has slowed down considerably since the last cold front.
FORK - Lake Fork is about three-inches high and clear. Water temp is in the low 50s.
Fishing guide Gary Paris said bass fishing has been tough. A few fish up to four pounds are taking Rat-L-Traps and spinnerbaits worked around main lake grass beds and channel breaks in 4-8 feet of water. Paris said plenty of fish are gravitating towards the shallows. Senkos and Flukes are producing in the same areas.
Crappie are fair on live shiners soaked on points in 35-45 feet of water. Not many limits reported. Catfish are good over baited holes in 18-22 feet of water.
SAM RAYBURN - The lake is about two feet low and stained up north. Water temp is in the low-to-mid 50s.
Bass fishing has been tough. A 17-pound sack won the Media Super Team tournament over the weekend. The weights dropped off to 11 pounds from there. Best reports are coming on Rat-L-Traps, spinnerbaits and Senkos fished around scattered grassbeds in 3-12 feet of water. Locals are anticipating a much improved bite with the next significant warming trend.
White bass anglers are picking up limits using Roadrunners and Rat-L-Traps from Estes Lake north to Shawnee Landing. Lots of males in the mix.
NACOGDOCHES - The lake level jumped to four inches after heavy rains last week. Water clarity is stained and the surface temp is in the low 50s.
Bass are fair to three pounds on Chatterbaits and shad pattern cranks worked around scattered grass and channel swings in 7-12 feet of water. Jigs pitched to outside grass edges on main lake points have been good for a few solid fish. Anglers can look for the bass to make a big push towards the shallows with the first significant warming trend.
Crappie are fair on live shiners soaked over main lake brush piles in 30-plus feet of water.
PALESTINE - Lake Palestine is six inches high and stained up the river, clear down south. Water temp is in the low 40s.
Fishing guide Ricky Vandergriff says all fishing has been major tough since the last week's front. The guide looks for the bite to improve with the next warming trend.
CEDAR CREEK - The lake is six inches high and stained. Water temp is in the low 40s.
Fishing guide Jason Barber says the big blue cats are on the prowl. He suggests bottom fishing in 3-6 feet of water at the lake's north end using cut shad. Down south, Barber is catching fish drifting shad over channel swings and main lake humps.
Barber says schools of white bass and hybrids are gravitating towards the mouths of creeks, but working swim baits over deeper structure in 18-35 feet of water has been the most reliable.
Crappie anglers are plucking partial limits off brush piles staged along main lake drops and off deeper docks in 8-15 feet of water. Bass are fair on Rat-L-Traps, spinnerbaits and jigs fished slowly around brushy docks on secondary points in 4-10 feet of water.
RICHLAND CHAMBERS - RC is 14 inches high and stained up the creeks. Water temp is in the upper 40s.
Larry Winters at Midway Landing said bass fishing has been very slow. Big spinnerbaits and jigs worked very slowly along channel breaks in six feet of water have been producing a few fish to 3 1/2 pounds.
Catfish are fair. No limits reported. The better reports are coming in 10-15 feet of water near channel breaks, mainly on shad and punch bait.
Crappie and white bass are slow.
ATHENS - Lake Athens is five-inches high and stained. Water temp is in the low 40s.
Jerry Hanson at Lake Athens Marina said bass fishing has been good on drop shots soaked around schools of shad in 20-25 feet of water. Some anglers reporting are up to 75 fish per day, but most are small, 1-2 pounds. Hanson predicts a shallower bite towards the end of the week as surface temperatures warm.
Crappie are fair on live shiners soaked around brush piles in 15 feet of water. Keepers are hard to come by.
PINKSTON - Lake Pinkston is about a foot high and stained. Water temp is in the low 50s.
Fishing guide Alan Spruiell said bass fishing has been slow. Crappie are fair along creek channels. The fish are suspended 15 feet down around shad in 30 feet of water. Several fish in the 15-16 inch range reported over the weekend.
