Lake Arlington

Largemouth bass are the most popular sport fish in the reservoir. Hybrid striped bass are stocked annually to create a good fishery. White bass, white crappie and channel catfish are also popular with anglers. Stocking of hybrid striped bass has been discontinued.

Lake Arlington does not have much cover or structure, however the hot water discharge area near the tailrace attracts numerous sport fishes. There are several areas of the lake with stump fields (noted by buoys) that provide habitat. Areas of water willow and button bush may hold some bass.

Largemouth bass fishermen are successful year round, with the largest bass caught in the winter. Hybrid striped bass fishing picks up in the late spring and early summer months. Crappie fishing is best around any underwater structure during the spring and summer. White bass and catfish are good targets in summer months.

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