Purtis Creek State Park Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Purtis Creek State Park is best known for its largemouth bass fishery. This species has been subject to a special catch-and-release-only rule since the lake opened to the public in 1988. Channel catfish are stocked annually and grow rapidly, providing an excellent fishery from both fishing piers. Crappie anglers frequently catch daily limits of these popular fish..

Cover & Structure

This state park lake was designed specifically for fishing. Much of the flooded timber is still standing in the upper half of the lake and in the back of most coves. Hydrilla was a problem in the past, but the park staff currently has this invasive plant under control.

Tips & Tactics

Unlike most Texas reservoirs, Purtis Creek shows its highest catch rates for really big largemouth bass in late summer. Bass fishermen have very good success using live goldfish from the west fishing pier.

Fishing Regulations

Purtis Creek State Park Lake has special regulations on some fishes. Check current TPWD regulations before your trip.
