Lake Clyde

Largemouth bass and crappie fishing historically has been good to excellent for quality and trophy-sized fish. Over the past several years severe drought has drastically reduced water levels and fish populations.

Lake Clyde spans approximately 449 acres with depths reaching 30 feet near the dam. Key structural features include main lake points, submerged creek channels, shoreline timber, and riprap along the dam — all reliable spots to locate fish year-round. None.

Largemouth bass fishing at Lake Clyde 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. Catfish are productive year-round; cut shad, chicken liver, or prepared stink bait fished on the bottom near structure produces steady action from spring through fall. Target crappie around any available timber or brush piles with small jigs or live minnows — late winter and early spring are prime when fish move shallow to spawn.

All species at Lake Clyde are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
