Lake Fork's fall patterns have not developed good for me yet.There are a few patterns coming together and jig fishing is one that is working but some days you really have to work for them. When you find them they are on just about every other tree. The bite is sometime real lite and other times they just take off with it. The fish have been on the same type structure and depths have been close to the same on different locations. Best depths have been 2-8 ft on creek channel's and ditches running into the creeks. Now there are days they want the jig on top of the drop and other days they want it coming out of the creek. The one thing that is consistent is big wood. The bigger the tree the better chance there is a fish there. Best baits/colors are Viper XP Jigs in a 3/8 oz purple passion,black/blue tip, you can check them out at www.viperxplures.com The fishing should pick up anytime as more fish bunch up on the creeks. I have had a few deep places starting to show up some fish but with the high winds it has not been easy to try them out. I also have been going over to Monticello now for about a month and catching some nice fish over there. The fish there will be spawning soon if cool weather stays with us.
