Brady Creek Reservoir

This fishery is rebuilding slowly after a golden alga bloom in 2012 and several years of low water levels.

Structure in Brady Creek Reservoir consists of rock/gravel shorelines, a rocky bluff along the creek, boulders and dead trees. Added to this is an old railroad bed that can be productive. As with typical West Texas reservoirs, the amount of good structure available is determined by water level.

Spring is a great time to look for largemouth bass in shallower waters closer to the bank and up in the creek, since this is their spawning season. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits have proven very productive. Another technique would be flipping jigs or plastic worms around dead trees. During summer, use topwater baits early in the morning or late in the evening and plastic worms during the hotter part of the day. In winter, just remember to slow down your retrieve to be successful.

All species at Brady Creek Reservoir are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
