Winnsboro Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Largemouth bass is a popular fish in this lake. The quality of crappie fishing is sporadic. Bluegill and redear sunfish provide an additional fishery. Blue and channel catfish have been stocked, but are generally uncommon.

Cover & Structure

Aquatic vegetation is scarce. The lake has areas of flooded timber and a small number of boat houses which provide additional cover.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishermen are most successful on this reservoir during the spring, fall, and winter months. Although some trophy bass have been caught in Lake Winnsboro, the lake is better known for high catch rates than trophies. Topwater baits are popular in the early morning and evening hours. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits fished along main-lake points, and flooded timber are also productive. Popular soft plastic baits include worms, tubes, grubs, and soft-jerkbaits.
