Yes Fork is an excellent lake, and one that got that way for a multitude of reasons. Good management, excellent habitat, productive water, they all are important.

I don't think the dairy input is the sole reason for it's success. For example, one of the lakes I manage, Lake Waco, receives a tremendous amount of inputs from dairies. Belton does to a lesser extent. Yet neither one of these would be classified as trophy bass lakes. Bad management then, you ask? Maybe, but I think not. Different goals is one reason. Not everybody wants to fish for trophy bass. Different habitats, higher cloride amounts in the water, etc. No two lakes are even close to the same.

And just to put the record straight, Fork has been stocked every year with Florida bass since 1995. The latest stocking was in May of 2002, so there definitely is some misinformation floating around out there (boy am I surprised :rolleyes: ). It appears that the information on lakeforktexas.com is a little dated.
