Twin Buttes Reservoir Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Twin Buttes has recovered significantly from the prolonged drought of the late 1990s due to increases in water level. Fishing for largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish is good. Fishing for white bass is excellent. A variety of sunfish species are present, and provide fair fishing.

Cover & Structure

Most of the cover at Twin Buttes is in the form of flooded terrestrial vegetation. Structure is made up of mud flats, drop-offs, submerged humps, creek channels, a few areas of rocks, and a long rip-rapped dam.

Tips & Tactics

White bass are caught trolling artificial baits in open water near drop-offs, submerged humps, and creek channels. Crappie are caught with jigs and minnows fished near humps and creek channels. Catfish are caught all over the reservoir using live and prepared baits. Largemouth bass are caught using live and artificial baits in the flooded terrestrial vegetation, along the rip-rap, and off the drop-offs and humps.

Fishing Regulations

All species at Twin Buttes Reservoir are managed under standard Texas statewide regulations.
