Buffalo Springs Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Buffalo Springs Lake offers solid fishing for Largemouth Bass, Flathead Catfish, Channel Catfish.

Cover & Structure

Working with local partners, TPWD has installed a variety of man-made fish habitat structures in this reservoir. Limited to stands of cattail located around the reservoir.

Tips & Tactics

The reservoir has a dense population of gizzard shad, which is the primary prey for largemouth bass. Your presentation must compete with this natural food base, so accurate casts and a sensitive touch are needed. Try pitching plastic worms into holes in the cattails or floating worms along structure in the mornings. Suspending baits are a good option for keeping your bait in the strike zone longer. Stripers can be caught by downrigging 4-inch white plastic grubs or with live bait.
