Navarro Mills Lake Fishing Guide
Angling Opportunities
Navarro Mills Lake provides excellent opportunity for white crappie and catfish. However, turbid water makes fishing for largemouth bass and sunfishes difficult. White bass fishing is very good at times.
Cover & Structure
Inundated timber is abundant in the upper end of the lake. However, this shallow water area can be difficult to access during low water periods. Siltation from the watershed has exacerbated this condition.
Tips & Tactics
Bass fishermen should look for patches of pondweed along the north shoreline. Fish these with buzz baits or jig and eel combinations in the spring during the spawn. Catfish and crappie fishermen will find live bait works best in the inundated timber in the upper end.
Fishing Regulations
All species at Navarro Mills Lake are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
