Lake Aquilla Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Lake Aquilla supports a diverse fishery including Largemouth Bass (fair), Catfish (good), Crappie (good), White Bass (fair).

Cover & Structure

Both the Hackberry and Aquilla Creek arms are loaded with standing timber and brush, but they are shallow in most areas and provide little fish habitat. TPWD has installed fish habitat at strategic points around Aquilla Lake. Limited amounts of pondweed and water willow.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishing can be good on Aquilla. The combination of stained water, localized cover, and light fishing pressure means there are some big bass to catch but you have to work for them. Fish spinner baits, jig and pork combos, and plastic worms in and around cover. Tree lines, fencerows, and creek channels are good places to start. Crappie are usually found on submerged brush piles and large isolated trees.

Fishing Regulations

All species at Lake Aquilla are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
