Website
At Alamo Lake (report courtesy of Sportsmen's Warehouse), fishing is rated as very good. Bass are currently found at depths of 15 to 20 feet, particularly around structures and submerged trees. Effective techniques and baits include: Soft plastics, utilizing Crush City soft baits and Yamamoto large Senko worms (4.5 to 7 inches) rigged in Wacky, Carolina, or Texas styles; Drop shot rigs employing Robo Worms for drop shot setups; Reaction baits using Z-Man chatter baits, Strike King spinner baits, and Keitech swim baits; Jigs - effective techniques include using poppers, jerk baits resembling shad or perch, and 8-inch spoons. Crappie fishing is also productive, especially during the spring season when they move into shallower areas to spawn. Targeting vertical timber in depths of 10-20 feet can yield good results. Additionally, Alamo Lake supports healthy populations of channel catfish, tilapia, and sunfish, providing diverse angling opportunities. Please note that construction is currently in progress on the main side of the park, with machinery and personnel working from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors should plan accordingly and exercise caution in construction areas.
