Somerville Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

White bass anglers know this lake well as a high quality fishery, especially during the spring spawning run. However the lake offers very good fishing for hybrid striped bass, channel catfish and crappie as well. Largemouth bass fishing is very good with catches of fish up to 10 pounds plus. In March 2009, angler Richard Vela caught a lake record largemouth bass weighing 13.6 pounds and donated the fish to the ShareLunker Program, the first donation to the program from Lake Somerville.

Cover & Structure

TPWD has installed commercial fish habitat structure in this reservoir. Anglers may use GPS in conjunction with a fish finder to locate the attractors. American lotus, hydrilla.

Tips & Tactics

Both white bass and hybrid striped bass can be taken in the creeks in early spring, usually beginning in mid February. During summer and fall these two species can be found in open water following schooling shad. The area off Welch Park is particularly good just before the spring spawning run.
