Summary
Shore access is limited; boat access is best via public ramps and marinas. Piers at Lake Fork and docks at Sam Rayburn provide good fishing. Key species include Black and White Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Catfish, and Bluegill. In spring, Crappie spawn in shallow coves; summer and winter push them deeper. Use jigs (chartreuse or pink) or live minnows near structure. Fish early morning or dusk for best bites. TPWD regularly stocks and maintains access points for anglers.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
