Brandy Branch Reservoir Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

The largemouth bass population is low density with few fish available for harvest. Bluegill and redear sunfish are present with high numbers of small fish available as prey, but low densities of quality-size fish available for catch.

Cover & Structure

Natural habitat is present in the form of flooded timber and aquatic vegetation. TPWD has worked with American Electric Power and the City of Longview to install additional structure made of recycled Christmas trees.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishing at Brandy Branch Reservoir peaks during spring pre-spawn when fish move to shallow flats and points — work Texas-rigged soft plastics, lipless crankbaits, and spinnerbaits for best results.

Fishing Regulations

All species at Brandy Branch Reservoir are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
