Book Now — (903) 707-3964

Lake Fork is East Texas's goat lake for Trophy largemouth and crappie covering approximately 27,000 acres depending on pool level. Lake Fork is a premiere location largely due to the Texas Parks and Wildlife management and slot limit regulations. Lake Fork truly is a fisherman's paradise.

I am blessed to have lived near this beautiful bass & crappie fishery for the last decade. If you are planning a fishing trip on this lake, I encourage you to give me the opportunity to show you an enjoyable fishing experience.

Lake Fork is well known for producing exceptional bass & crappie fishing and monster slabs. NOTE: (Crappie June through January only) and Bass will be booked year-round. I have had the pleasure of seeing many happy anglers catch the biggest bass of their lives. I hope we can do the same!

If allowed the privilege of being your Lake Fork guide, I will do my best to meet your expectations for the day. Our trip will be catch and release to give others the opportunity to catch one of these great fish!

I cater to a wide variety of fishermen from around the country. Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome! While many customers just want to catch bass and have a good time, I also offer instructional trips regarding seasonal fishing patterns, deep water, specific techniques, and how to interpret sonar.

I do not fish on your trip unless you ask me to or if I need to demonstrate a particular technique. The numbers that are reported on social media of recent catches reflects the number of bass my clients catch.

My mission is to help you learn the skills to catch lots of big fish on Lake Fork. In addition, I will focus my efforts on your goals for our trip whether you want to learn a new technique, learn the current patterns for a week's visit, or just have an enjoyable day with friends or family.

Reviews

"Byron put us on fish from the moment we launched. Caught my personal best bass before 8 AM. His knowledge of Lake Fork is unmatched."

Mike R.

"Took my 10-year-old son for his first fishing trip. Byron was patient, encouraging, and made it the best day we've had together. We're already booked for next spring."

James T.

"We came for crappie and left with a cooler full. Byron knows exactly where they're holding and how to get them to bite. Five stars, no question."
