EXCELLENT. Water stained; 61 degrees; 0.47 feet above pool. Crappie are excellent while fish are in prespawn patterns staging on brush and structure in 15-18 feet of water along the edges of creek channels. Female crappies are full of eggs. Forecasted warm days and nights should bring the females to...

SLOW. Water stained; 60 degrees. Continue to target bass on the bottom around deep cover with a jig or a Texas rigged craw or creature bait. When the water is a little clearer throw a suspending jerkbait with a long pause. If the bass are finicky, downsize to a shaky head or a Ned rig and just let i...

FAIR. Water normal stain; 55 degrees; 1.53 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Catfish are good using cut bait in 15 feet of water on windy shallow banks.

FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.16 feet above pool. The striper bite is inconsistent due to the fluctuating weather, but the forecast is looking like spring from here on.

GOOD. Water lightly stained; 60 degrees; 1.34 feet below pool. The hybrid striper and white bass bite is good. We were seeing big schools of fish on different parts of the lake that are feeding on huge schools of threadfin shad. Swimbaits and slabs are working best in 10-30 feet. The eating size cat...

FAIR. Water stained; 60 degrees; 1.90 feet below pool. It is a "tale of two fisheries" right now for Stillhouse white bass. There are fish steadily making their way up the Lampasas River to spawn, and there are fish still residing in the main lake. Both have their pros and cons. The river fishery is...

SLOW. Water stained; 62 degrees; 3.05 feet below pool. The nightbite has picked up this week. At the marina the crappie bite is good, and catfish are fair on minnows or punch bait. Bluegill are good on crickets and worms. Crappie are good with fish scattered on the main lake brush in 8-16 feet of wa...

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 56 degrees; 1.86 feet below pool. Black Bass will continue to make their way to the spawning coves as long as the warming trend continues. The coves on the north side of the lake are a good place to start. Target boat docks in these coves working your way to the backs o...

GOOD. Water stained; 55 degrees; 0.06 feet below pool. Warmer weather in the forecast so the pattern is consistent. Some crappie are starting to spawn. Crappie are good in 12-15 feet of water near spawning flats with jigs or minnows. Catfish are slow drifting in 18-25 feet of water near main lake po...
