Possum Kingdom Lake
Fishing Information

Predominant Fish Species: Largemouth bass, white crappie, striped bass, white bass, channel and blue catfish.

Possum Kingdom offers a great variety of fish habitat, ranging from steep, rocky bluffs to shallow flats. Although old, this structure-rich water continues to produce excellent fishing and is particularly well-known for yielding large black bass and trophy stripers.

Of the three black bass species present in the lake, largemouth are by far the most abundant. Stocking of Florida strain largemouth in the 1970's improved the lake's potential for growing big bass. Typical largemouth caught by anglers weigh about 2 to 3 pounds, although 10-pounders are not uncommon. Larger sized fish caught and released during tournaments run 6 to 8 pounds. The lake record largemouth is an unusually big 16.02 pounds.

Spotted bass rank second in abundance to largemouth, followed by smallmouth. Both smallies and spots are more prevalent in the rocky lower lake. The lake record smallmouth is 6.4 pounds. The average size spotted bass measures a respectable 12 to 14 inches.

The cool, well-oxygenated water of Possum Kingdom supports a quality striped bass population. Although there is evidence of sporadic natural reproduction, it has little influence on abundance and the fishery is sustained almost entirely by annual fingerling stocking. An ample supply of gizzard and threadfin shad allows stripers to reach trophy proportions. Catches of 15- to 20-pounders are common, and a fish 25 pounds or better is considered a trophy. The lake record striper weighed 31.6 pounds.

Sand bass are fairly abundant and provide exciting action, especially during their spring migration. Catches of 1-pound fish are common, and anglers report creeling sandies up to 31/2 pounds.

Some of the best tailrace striper fishing in Texas is found in the Brazos River below the Morris Sheppard Dam. During winter, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department stocks catchable-size rainbow trout below the dam.

Possum Kingdom Lake is known for its rugged beauty and scenic cliffs. One striking landmark is Hell's Gate. This feature is a natural break in the cliffs through which Jowell Creek flows into the Brazos River. Impoundment of the Lake created a beautiful cove 'behind the Gate', now immensely popular with boaters and swimmers.

Graham, Tx is the gateway to the Possum Kingdom Lake Recreation Area. It is centrally located in North Texas, an area of great natural beauty, temperate climate, and many cultural pursuits. Known as "The Lake Country" because of the many lakes in the surrounding countryside, Graham is home to a variety of activities both outdoor and indoor.

Graham gets its reputation as a recreation area from the many natural wonders with which we are blessed. Rolling hills and lush woods lie serenely under clear, clean skies, making this some of the best hunting land in the state. Sparkling lakes and streams offer a variety of water sports including boating, fishing, scuba diving, canoeing and swimming. Golfers will enjoy the pristine setting of our several golf courses (including the famous Cliffs at Possum Kingdom). History also lives in Graham with the restored Forts Belknap and Richardson (two of the first frontier forts in Texas), and the heritage of the Indians who lived here in the Mid-1800's.
