Limestone Lake

Lake Limestone offers some of the best fishing of any central Texas lake. Because it is located off the beaten path, anglers will find they have little competition, particularly during the week. Solitude and good fishing for many species combine to make Lake Limestone a winner. Spring is the best time to catch good numbers of quality size largemouth bass, but these fish can be caught year round.

Gently sloping banks, flooded timber, and an abundance and variety of aquatic vegetation offer anglers plenty of diverse cover to fish. Numerous boat houses and docks offer additional cover. Five freshwater fish reefs were added to this lake.

During February and April, fishermen find largemouth bass in the middle of their spawn. Any of the major creeks can be productive for bass in the spring, but look for the ones with the warmest water. Fish the backs of the creeks and protected main lake coves with vegetation on the northern shoreline. Large willow leaf spinner baits in white or chartreuse, or jig and pork combinations in black/blue and black/chartreuse are excellent baits for springtime bass. From May through September, bass fishermen are most successful fishing off points on the main lake around vegetation or submerged timber.

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