Lake
Granbury
Granbury, Texas
Lake
Granbury is an 8,700-acre impoundment at De Cordova Bend
on Brazos River. Parks, camps and service facilities for
outdoor recreation dot the 103-mile shoreline. The
picturesque lake holds several fish records. Lake
Granbury edges the city for which it is named, following
the looping channel of the Brazos. Jacob de Cordova, for
whom the dam is named, was a man of unusual abilities. He
accumulated land scrip for more than a million Texas
acres, and billing himself as "Publicity Agent for
an Empire," lectured throughout the East in 1859 to
stimulate interest in Texas. The lake also accessible
from Acton.

Predominant Fish Species:
Largemouth bass, striped bass, white bass, channel catfish, flathead
catfish, white crappie, sunfish.
All fishes are managed under
statewide regulations
with the
exception of
largemouth bass, which has a 16" minimum length limit and a 5 fish daily
bag limit.
FISHING COVER/STRUCTURE
The main lake has a small amount of
timber, cattails and bulrushes, but by far the number one structure is
boat houses and piers.
The upper lake has more timber and brushpiles.
FISHING
TIPS AND TACTICS
Striped bass fishing can be very
good on this long, sinuous reservoir. Downrigging jigs and crankbaits as
well as drifting live shad can be very effective. The mid-lower lake
seems to be best. Largemouth bass fishing can be excellent around
any of the 1000-plus boat docks and piers. Crankbaits, jigs, and worms
are top bets. Catfishing is best in the upper reservoir. The
stained water and abundant timber along the Brazos River channel makes
for excellent trotlining. Crappie can be caught using live
minnows fished around docks, submerged brush, and bridge pilings.
White bass fishing is best during the spring in the river above the
lake. Small jigs and spinners work best. Sunfish can be caught
using live worms or crickets fished around docks, especially in early
summer.
