Best time to fish Lake Fork River
The DWR has stocked Lake Fork River 14 times over the last 6 seasons, and 93% of those plants landed in June, July, October — the freshest fish and the easiest bite usually follow within a week or two of a stocking. Flows typically peak in July (about 327 cfs median) and settle to their lowest in January (about 0 cfs) — the wadeable, clear-water window usually opens once flows drop below the seasonal median, and the 72-hour chart above shows where today sits against it.
