Lady Bird Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Lady Bird Lake contains an excellent population of largemouth bass. It is not uncommon for anglers to catch and release 20-30 bass per day in the 2-3 pound size range. Quality panfishing is also available. Lady Bird Lake contains some very large redear and redbreast sunfish.

Cover & Structure

Most of the cover on this reservoir is located along the bank and consists of laydown logs and trees, overhanging brush, cypress tree roots, bulrush, and cattails. Some submerged aquatic vegetation can be found in the lower end of the lake near the Longhorn Dam. This vegetation grows on humps located offshore.

Tips & Tactics

Because of the clear water conditions, this can be an excellent night fishing lake for largemouth bass. Casting white spinnerbaits and topwaters or pitching jigs with medium to medium-heavy bait casting tackle to the shoreline cover often works well. For live-bait fishing try minnows suspended under corks along the shoreline cover. Sight fishing for bass during the spring spawn is also popular. Sunfish are fun to catch on a fly rod or with light spinning tackle.

Fishing Regulations

Lady Bird Lake has special regulations on some fishes. Outboard motors are not allowed on Lady Bird Lake, but anglers may use electric trolling motors. Check current TPWD regulations before your trip.
