Mill Creek Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Largemouth bass is the most popular fish and Mill Creek Lake has has produced trophy fish in the past. The quality of the crappie fishery is sporadic but occasionally good. Blue and channel catfish have been stocked, but are generally uncommon.

Cover & Structure

Flooded timber provides limited cover. Overhanging brush and emergent vegetation along the shore provide most of the available fish habitat in the reservoir. In November 2015, TPWD staff installed PVC fish habitat structures at three sites at a minimum water depth of 15 feet.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass in the spring can be caught shallow along shorelines with overhanging brush and reeds with soft-plastics, jigs, and creature baits. In the summer, as bass move to deeper water, Carolina-rigged soft-plastics presented close to the bottom can be productive. Crappie can be found in the shallows spawning in the early spring. During the rest of the year, crappie will shadow schools of shad in the main lake. Using sonar to locate brush piles and/or schools of shad will often lead you to nearby crappie.
