Timpson Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

The most popular game fish at Timpson Reservoir is the largemouth bass. Numbers of bass are relatively high and an excellent fishery exists. Due to the 14-21 inch slot limit, Timpson produces a good number of trophy-sized bass. Crappie and catfish are present in the reservoir, but numbers are relatively low and few anglers target these species.

Cover & Structure

Habitat in Timpson Reservoir consists of standing timber, boat docks, and emergent vegetation. Game fish are typically found around vegetation edges, points, boat docks, and creek channels.

Tips & Tactics

fishermen are most successful at catching largemouth bass during the fall, winter, and spring months. Due to cooler water temperatures, fish are active for longer periods of the day and are typically found in shallow water. A variety of baits and techniques will work during these times. When fish are active, crankbaits and spinnerbaits will catch bass. During the hot summer, the bite slows and fish activity is usually concentrated during early morning, late evening, and at night.
