Favorite Lake in Texas...I'm gonna have to go with some East Texas Lakes. Number 1 would be Lake Tyler, its just over 5,000 acres and can yield some pigs! 30+lb sacks are not a big suprise any time of year. Number 2 would have to be Lake Athens, at just under 1,800 acres it is an incredible numbers and size lake. Know for some incredible topwater this on of my all time favorite lakes...oh, and don't bring big line, 10 ft visibility makes this a finesse haven! Lake Fork is OK if you like catching 4-8 lb fish all day. This is one of the most incredible fishery's in the state and is a popular lake and from pre to post spawn don't expect to be alone or even to be fishing an area with out at least 20 other avid anglers. I fish 200+ days a year all over the state any questions on any lakes just ask. ~Ronnie

I'm headed to Lake Fork In Mid March for two weeks and cant hardly wait. This is a tradition for me and my fishing buddies. My best so far is a 11.11 monster that was in the slot at 23.75 inch long. I got a replica from Lake Fork Taxidermy that looks better than the two others I have on the wall from Caddo. I got a kick out of releasing her anyway.

I love Alan Henry, it is one of the best lakes I have ever fished. It has some huge bass in it.

Anybody ever hit that lake?

Well, I live on Lake Livingston, do a lot of fishing on the Cypress bayou, fished Lake Madison, Houston County Lake, Sam Rayburn, Lake o the Pines, Wright Patman and others. As we have so many watersheds in TX that are producing good size fish, it is really hard for me to single out just one that I would consider the best in my book. I love em all.

Since I love to dock fish, I'd have to say Cedar Creek and Palestine. They are the two best boat dock lakes I've been on.

Lake Fork Rookie, I don't live too far from you. When are we going fishing? Been fishing that lake over 20 yrs. and never had that kind of day. Heck, just let me follow you around.

Its got to be Fayette County. Cold weather or Hot those bass are always hungry. Schoolies 3 to 5 pounds in late August through September. Love those power plant lakes.

My name says it all. Choke Canyon reservoir in Three Rivers TX. This lake is about the same size as Fork 26500 acres. This lake doesn't get near the fishing pressure as many other lakes in Texas. There are reports of numerous 10 pounders boated annually with my personal best being 8 lb 5 ounces. Not too shabby huh. Another big plus is this lake is in the middle of nowhere and all surrounding land is private with no docks, houses anything.

I'm amazed that no one has chose Falcon. I'm planning a trip there after the first of the year. Was kind of hoping to get some help figuring it out.

I love Falcon Resevoir Beagle and to tell you the truth there are some major pigs there. The reason nobody mentioned Falcon is the location. I live in San Antonio so I am probobly closer than most of yall and it is still a three hour drive for me. As a matter of fact Falcon is the best lake in the country right now. I've been there probobly ten times and I had success with large texas rigged worms and carolina rigged senkos.

It has been a while since any has posted here. I've got two different lakes that are my fav. Sure I love those east Texas lakes but I am 30 minutes west of Fort Worth so I don't get a chance to go to those lakes. My favs are Lake Granbury, 2 minutes away from the boat ramp, and my other fav WAS Squaw Creek between Granbury and Glen Rose. It was closed after 9/11 because of the power plant the lake was built for. It still isnt open and probably never will be. That lake was a great lake to fish during the winter. The power plant kept the water warm during the winter months for some awesome fishing. What I would do to be able to fish out there now!!

Caddo Lake:) Love the cypress trees.

Bayou Buddy · « **Reply #48 on:** February 13, 2010, 07:10:45 AM »

My favorite lakes are:
1. Fork - where I caught my personal best, otherwise, tough lake most of the time
2. Purtis Creek - For numbers and good quality fish
3. Brazos River (Kayak)- also for numbers and quality fish
4. Ray Hubbard - close to home
5. Mill Creek - got some big fish in that pond

Fork. I live in Fort Worth and pass up many lakes to get there but I am addicted. My wife refers to it as "My Mistress." Any day, any cast may be the biggest fish of your life and the ultimate bragging rights to a "Share a Lunker" at 13+ pounds. I have walked away from jobs during spring because of it. It almost ruined my marriage...my wife realized it was better to have me gone and come back happy rather than sit around the house mad because I was not there. One of my daughters, when she was 4 or 5 lectured me and told me all I talk about is, "Fish, fish, fish" and said all I do is "Fish, fish, fish." It almost killed me. Some friends and I went to fish some huge bass before a big storm that I found and were holding tight to beds and aggressive. The storm came, we left and headed west on I-20 in a line of boats and trailers. The rain came down in buckets. I called my buddies and said I was slowing down and moving to the slow lane. My truck hit a dip on the highway that was full of water and the boat and truck jack-knifed and slid across all west lanes through the median, jumped out of the median and across all east lanes on a Friday outside of Dallas and never hit another vehicle but totaled everything. I was back at Fork 2 weeks later. So, yeah, I would have to say my favorite is Lake Fork. That's my final answer.
