Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

This lake is known for largemouth bass in the 3- to 8-pound range but has produced a lake record of 13.81 pounds. Sunfishes provide excellent opportunities for fly fishing anglers. Crappie are increasing in number and are usually of good size. Channel catfish provide an excellent fishing opportunity year round.

Cover & Structure

Cattails, bulrush, and the dam riprap provide consistent cover. Isolated patches of hydrilla are available seasonally. TPWD has installed bamboo "crappie condos" at strategic points around the lake.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishing can be very good at Tradinghouse. Cattails and bulrushes line most of the shoreline. Spinnerbaits, worms, and jigs all can produce good catches of fish. The dam is a popular spot to fish crankbaits, as the riprap holds a lot of fish. Catfishing is often productive, with good catches of larger fish.

Fishing Regulations

However, if a grass carp is caught, it must be immediately returned to the water unharmed.
