Lake Daniel

Lake Daniel is a 950-acre reservoir offering fishing for Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Crappie and more. Spring and fall are peak seasons across all species.

Lake Daniel offers a variety of fishing cover including black willow trees, button brush, lily pads, floating-leaf pondweed, and rocky structure. Cover in the reservoir is primarily limited to brush piles and rocks when the water is low. Floating-leaf pondweed.

Largemouth bass fishing at Lake Daniel 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 Daniel are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
