Baylor Creek Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Both Baylor and Childress have been affected by drought and repeated golden alga blooms. Fishing at these lakes is poor and launching is very difficult. We are watching for a significant water rise and will restock when conditions improve.

Cover & Structure

Most structure in Baylor Lake is created by flooded timber. There are some areas of pondweed as well. The dam and points on the lake offer boulders and rip-rap, while the upper lake has many cut banks and drop-offs.

Tips & Tactics

The best fishing period for largemouth bass is spring when water temperatures reach 55-65 degrees. Carolina rigs, crankbaits, spinners, and pig-n-jig baits are all good options on either of these lakes. Focus on structure, especially where 2 or 3 habitat types meet. For crappie, try fishing minnows near structure along the dam or in the upper reservoir for the best catches.
