Angling Opportunities
Despite the dry conditions of O.C. Fisher in early 2015, water levels rose during the spring. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recently stocked the reservoir with largemouth bass, crappies, catfish, and bluegill. The majority of fish is only one to two years old, and only a few large fish can be caught. Fish populations continue to improve and expand as long as water levels are favorable.

Proline Fishing Tips
The reservoir is home to catfish that have been caught on live baits and prepared baits. Among the flooded vegetation, rip-rap, humps and drop-offs, largemouth bass are caught with minnows and artificial lures. The best way to catch white bass is by trolling artificial lures near humps and drop-offs. Anglers fish for crappie with jig and minnow near drop-offs and humps.
