Fishing Information |
|
Large mouth bass are the most popular sport fish in the reservoir. The slot length limit is designed to encourage harvest of the smaller bass. Small mouth bass were stocked into the lake in 1999 and should provide angling opportunities in several years. White bass, white crappie and channel catfish are also popular with anglers.
FISHING COVER/STRUCTURE
The Twin Coves area has a large amount of flooded timber. Numerous areas of the lake have shoreline with large boulders. Boat houses in McPherson Slough attract fish.
FISHING TIPS AND TACTICS
Grapevine Lake has many drop offs and underwater structure changes that hold large mouth bass. Rocky shorelines and boathouses are also good spots for large mouth bass. The water intake near the dam has a air injection area that attracts white bass. Twin Coves and the rocky shoreline around this area are good for catfish and crappie.
FISHING REGULATIONS
Statewide regulations apply to most sport fishes in Grapevine Lake. The exception is a 14- to 18-inch slot limit for large mouth bass. This length limit is designed to improve the growth of the bass and improve the quality of angler catch.
