    Used James Niggemeyer last spring.We had a GREAT trip caught a bunch and had a awesome time. James is a class act and a total gentleman. I would with out any doubt use him again as a Fork guide.

    I hope you guys realize Lake Fork is over 6’ low and is scheduled to draw down to 7’ low for dam repair! I highly doubt the lake will be at normal levels anytime soon.

    Look at these YouTube videos, it is depressing.

    It is greatly depressing to see this. Hope they finish the repairs and the spring rains come to fill it up. Some say it can fill up quickly, but I don't see how. It's so flat there that there isn't a great deal of water shed, and the only water that goes into it is what falls directly into it from above or what runs into it from the small tributary creeks. Would not surprise me at all if it takes a year or two to recover.

    Bmbercraw I agree, but a positive will be the vegetation growth will help once it does get back to full pool.

    Ray Vereen is running a special till the end of the month, Pay now with your dates or pick dates later. Save $150 on a full day trip.

    Back by popular demand...the Pay it forward special and will last until 1-31-2022.

    Guided Bass (black, white, or yellow) or crappie fishing trips for 1 or 2 persons for the discounted rate of $300 for a full day (8 to 9 hours), or $150 for half day trips.

    How it works:
    Purchase the trip or trips at the discounted rate and you can schedule the trip at the time of purchase, or schedule them at a future date. However, it is always best to schedule as soon as possible to get the day or days that best fit your schedule.

    The prices listed above are for 1 or 2 persons and a 3rd is $50 or $100 extra respectively.

    What to bring for the trip:
    There is plenty of room for your own equipment, but equipment and tackle can be provided upon request.
    Drinks
    Snacks
    Sunglasses / sunscreen
    Appropriate clothing for the weather.

    I also want to thank everyone that has asked about and took advantage of this special.

    Let's get on the water and stick some lips!

    Call 972-849-2685 today and let's get fishing!!!

    I tried a couple a few years ago. Please listen. You pay for what you get I won’t mention any names but also do your research!! Not the expensive guidesa are the best. I’ve used them for fun and prefishing for a tournament but for tournament it’s all about community holes unless you find a good/decent guide. Best wishes.
