Holbrook Lake

Largemouth bass is the most popular fish in the reservoir. Stockings of Florida largemouth bass in 2007 and 2008 have been conducted in order to influence the genetics of the population. Bluegill and redear sunfish provide a limited fishery with some individuals up to 10 inches. Both black and white crappie are prevalent in the open water of the reservoir.

Flooded timber, boat houses and brush piles provide limited cover. TPWD staff have been working to establish stands of native aquatic species since 2006. The department has also worked with local organizations to create fish habitat structures in this lake.

Largemouth bass fishermen are most successful on this reservoir during the spring, fall, and winter months. Topwater baits are popular in the early morning and evening hours. Schooling largemouth and yellow bass can be caught in the summertime. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits are also productive fished along main-lake points and flooded timber. Popular soft plastic baits include worms, tubes, grubs, and soft-jerkbaits.

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