Fishing Information
Week of May 25, 2022
Lake Buchanan
GREAT. Water lightly stained; 77 degrees; 4.86 feet low. Crappie fishing is good with fish clinging to the summer pattern. Fishing in 15-20 feet of water over brush piles using chartreuse jigs will fill the boat. Bass are good on shallow rock and vegetation, and flipping shallow trees with worms and craw worms. The topwater bite is getting good as well. Crappie, white bass, hybrids and stripers are going strong using small jigging spoons or flutter spoons.

Lake LBJ
GOOD. Water lightly stained; 78 degrees; 0.66 feet low. Bass are very good on brush piles and rocky points in 8-15 feet of water using ten inch worms and crankbaits. Good topwater bite all day on overcast days while the bass are feeding on shallow perch. White bass are good mid lake to the river in jigging spoons and live minnows.

Fish a White Bass Run!
Spring means white bass are on the run, typically February through May. The northern end and up-river of Lake Buchanan is one of the tried and true areas where you'll find spring white bass in Central Texas.
The Colorado River above the lake has one of the strongest white bass runs in Central Texas. For wade or bank fishing Colorado Bend State Park, near the town of Bend, is a great place to try your luck when water conditions are right. This portion of the Colorado River is popular with fly anglers. The area from Silver Creek (also called Beaver Creek) to the town of Tow is an excellent choice from winter to late spring. Lake Buchanan has lots of main lake structure to try during the summer months.
