Lake Sweetwater

Lake Sweetwater supports populations of Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Crappie, Sunfish.

Lake Sweetwater has diverse fishing cover and structure. There is abundant brush and black willow trees, especially in the upper end of creek arms. During high-water periods, aquatic vegetation is scattered throughout the reservoir.

Sunfish fishermen should concentrate on small coves with sandy or gravel shorelines in the spring and summer. Nightcrawlers, shrimp, and stinkbait are popular baits for catfish at Lake Sweetwater. White bass are caught by trolling crankbaits in the spring and summer. In late summer, look for schools of surface-feeding white bass, especially in the upper end of Bitter Creek. For largemouth bass, deep-running crankbaits and jigs are productive in the winter and early spring.

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