"Lake Fork Sportsman's Association and Texas Parks and Wildlife have built, transported and inserted fish attractors of various forms in Lake Fork.  Often working with the Yantis High School shop students, sixteen insertions have been completed with bigger plans being made.  Each site has had almost immediate positive results with various species taking residence.  Lake Fork Sportsman's Association has additional plans to build more units and continue this program of providing habitat.  A specific plan is to combine spawning beds, T-Hab barrel configurations, hydrilla hoops and minnow factories to create a complete Life Cycle Support Strategy.  Grants are in the process of being requested and fundraising for the projects are a focus of the 2019 LFSA budget."

While fishing for carp and buffalo on Lake Fork, Norbert Samok landed the big one.  Fishing with corn and plastic corn, Norbert caught a new Lake Fork record buffalo on Thursday, March 28.  His fish weighed  71 1/2 pounds.  Lake Fork Sportsman's Association called Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in Tyler, who confirmed that Norbert's fish would indeed be a  lake record.  TPWD sent biologist Evan Cartabiano to certify the catch.  Norbert is originally from Hungary and now lives in Westchester, New York.  He was fishing with friend, Laszlo Kovacs. 
LFSA congratulates these anglers for setting a new Lake Fork record buffalo.

"The following are photos and snippets of the recent Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest at Lake Fork.  Each one is also on the Bassmaster website with commentary on the whole Fest.  LFSA is proud to have supplied our Live Release Boat to assist the Pro Fishermen and the tournament.  LFSA also had a booth selling raffle tickets and showing some of our projects such as the T-Hab Structure, which drew much interest."
