Averhoff Lake Fishing Guide
Angling Opportunities
Largemouth bass and catfish are the most popular and most abundant fish in the reservoir. Channel catfish are present in good numbers with an occasional flathead showing up. Crappie fishing is fair with your best chance of fish coming from standing timber and under water structure.
Cover & Structure
Averhoff Reservoir is characterized by mud/gravel banks with overhanging brush, dead standing timber and no aquatic vegetation.
Tips & Tactics
Bass fishermen are most successful during the fall, winter, and spring months. Topwater baits such as buzzbaits work well in the early morning and late evening. Texas and Carolina rigged worms and lizards are also popular, and effective when fished around the overhanging brush. Catfish fishermen can find channel catfish throughout the lake. Stinkbait and cutbait work well.
Fishing Regulations
All species at Averhoff Lake are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
