Lake Nasworthy Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Catfish and white bass fishing is good. Crappie and largemouth bass also provide good fishing most of the time. Several sunfish species provide fair fishing. Red drum are no longer stocked in the lake.

Cover & Structure

Lake Nasworthy is an old shallow reservoir. There are a few areas of rip-rap and some rocks, but most of the structure is mud bank. The majority of the cover in the reservoir consists of bulrushes and alligator weed along the shoreline.

Tips & Tactics

"Dabbling" is very effective for catching largemouth bass in the bulrushes. "Dabbling" is the technique of using a long stout fishing rod to gently lower and jig and trailer into the water around to the bulrushes. The fishermen then gently lifts and drops the bait a few inches. If a fish does not strike the bait, the fishermen then moves the bait over a few inches to a couple of feet and works the bait again. Crappie are caught using minnows and jigs around bridge and dock pilings.

Fishing Regulations

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