Pat Cleburne Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Pat Cleburne Lake offers good largemouth bass fishing and the opportunity to catch three different species of catfish.

Cover & Structure

Stained to murky water, with a variety of shallow emergent aquatic vegetation and isolated laydowns, provide plenty of cover for fish. In 2016, TPWD biologists worked with a local volunteer group to install crappie condos near the dam. These structures provide cover for a variety of fish species.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass can be caught using spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and plastic worms fished through and around vegetation at 1- to 4-foot depths. Shallow-diving crankbaits fished on the riprap can also be productive. Channel and blue catfish are caught by drift fishing and tightlining with stinkbait or shad. White bass are often caught by trolling jigs and spinners down windy shorelines. Crappie can be caught from shallow brush piles on live minnows.

Fishing Regulations

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