Grapevine Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Largemouth bass is the most popular sport fish in the reservoir. The slot length limit is designed to encourage harvest of the smaller bass. The smallmouth bass population continues to increase in abundance and quality. Spotted bass of good size are also available for anglers.

Cover & Structure

The Twin Coves area has a large amount of flooded timber. Numerous areas of the lake have shoreline with large boulders. Boat houses in McPherson Slough attract fish.

Tips & Tactics

Grapevine Lake has many dropoffs, underwater boulders, and rocky shorelines that hold largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. The water intake near the dam has an aeration system that attracts white bass. Blue catfish are abundant and can be caught with fresh shad. Crappie can be caught near boat houses and flooded timber.

Fishing Regulations

Grapevine Lake has special regulations on some fishes. Check current TPWD regulations before your trip.
