Lake Fork Reservoir has been enjoyed by thousands of bass fishing enthusiasts.
Fishing has been particularly good due to fishery management efforts of the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department  who began stocking Lake Fork with
 Florida largemouth bass in 1978.
 Lake Fork was opened for fishing in the fall of 1980.
 A state record largemouth bass weighing 18.18 pounds was caught  from
 Lake Fork in January 1992.
The lake has since gained the reputation as the hottest bass lake in Texas,
 perhaps in the USA.
Lake Fork claims 70% of the Top 50  bass caught in  Texas,
 the Top 6 ranging from 17.08 lbs. to the record 18.18.

Fork is abundant with cover such as timber, grass, lily pads
and underground springs which make it a great fishing habitat.
