Cypress Springs Lake

The largemouth bass population is moderately abundant with good numbers available for harvest. Spotted bass are present in moderate densities. Bluegill and redear are the dominant sunfish and moderate numbers of quality-size fish are available to anglers. Channel catfish are present in good numbers and provide excellent fishing opportunities.

TPWD and partner organizations have installed fish habitat structures in this lake. Additional habitat is found near boat houses, terrestrial brush and trees in shoreline areas, and rip rap along the dam. Covers less than 10% of the lake's total surface area.

Largemouth bass fishing at Cypress Springs Lake 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. White bass form aggressive surface-feeding schools in fall chasing shad into shallow coves — silver spoons, small white grubs, and inline spinners all produce when fish are busting the surface.

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