Lake Sam Rayburn

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 31)

FAIR. Water slightly stained; 60 degrees; 1.15 feet below pool. The lake level is on the rise due to the recent rain. The clarity is slightly muddy in the creeks and upriver. Bass are moving shallow into the bush with the new water. When you find grass, fish will be there. Bass are on the move upriver in shallow water with crankbaits and swim jigs. Crappie and white bass are going up river. Catfish are good in 15-26 feet of water on cut bait and minnows. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
