Spring Fishing Patterns on Lake Fork

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Spring (Pre-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	44-70	Bass are transitioning from winter patterns to pre-spawn staging areas, actively feeding to build energy for spawning. Fish are moving along migration routes from deeper winter haunts to spawning flats, often schooling by size as noted in recent reports.
