Davy Crockett Lake Fishing Guide
Angling Opportunities
Davy Crockett Lake is a 355-acre reservoir offering fishing for Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Crappie and more. Spring and fall are peak seasons across all species.
Cover & Structure
The lake has significant amounts of submerged aquatic vegetation, and most of the shoreline is ringed with water willow and some stands of cattail and bulrush. There are small coves, an island, cut banks, and some rip-rap along the dam.
Tips & Tactics
Largemouth bass can be caught pretty much all year, but spring and fall are best. Start out early in the morning with topwater baits. When the sun gets up, shift to plastic worms. Black or June bug rigged Texas style is hard to beat. Fish for channel catfish any time, but May-June and October-December are best.
Fishing Regulations
Special bass limits and gear restrictions are in effect on Davy Crockett Lake.
