Amon G. Carter Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Amon G. Carter Lake supports a diverse fishery including Largemouth Bass (excellent), Catfish (good), White Bass (good), Crappie (good).

Cover & Structure

Lake Amon G. Carter is actually two lakes in one. The original lake was constructed in 1956 and has different habitat than the 500-acre extension constructed in 1985.

Tips & Tactics

The best time to catch largemouth bass is in the spring and fall. These are two very different lakes. The old side stays muddy and the fish stay shallow. Start with a pumpkin chartreuse tail worm and white/chartreuse spinner bait. Key on rocky points and boat docks.

Fishing Regulations

All species at Amon G. Carter Lake are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
