15,216-acre reservoir near Breckenridge. The lake tops out around 63 ft. The depth chart comes from Texas Water Development Board bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 15,289 acres, worked by 128.1 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 7.4) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 49% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 10.8 mi, about 8.8 mi across. It sits in Stephens County. Hubbard Creek Reservoir sits 2 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, largemouth bass slide up into 2 to 10 ft. Summer is an 8 to 20 ft game here, winter a 15 to 35 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 6 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (21 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
In spring, white bass run shallow here, mostly 2 to 12 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 25 ft, and winter fish settle into 15 to 40 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 11 ft, rated prime for fall white bass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a slab spoon or a small topwater (schooling fish) most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Curly-tail jig (white), Small lipless crank |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Slab spoon, Small topwater (schooling fish) |
| Fall | 6 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Jigging spoon, Blade bait |
| Winter | 15 to 40 ft | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (deep), Blade bait |
Come spring, look for crappie tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 10 to 25 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 35 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 6 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A jig trolled/spider-rigged or a small crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | 1/16 oz jig + tube, Curly-tail grub |
| Summer | 10 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | Jig trolled/spider-rigged, Small crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 8 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (21 ft) | Jig + minnow combo, Small swimbait (1.5-2") |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (21 ft) | Tungsten jig + soft plastic, Tiny jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, channel catfish slide up into 3 to 12 ft. Summer is an 8 to 25 ft game here, winter a 20 to 40 ft one. Start at Shallow feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | night & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (13 ft) | |
| Fall | 10 to 30 ft | dusk | Shallow feeding flat (13 ft) | |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | midday | Break off the point (21 ft) |
Come spring, look for flathead catfish tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 45 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 21 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | night & dusk | Rock reef (5 ft) | |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | |
| Winter | 20 to 45 ft | midday | open water |
Spring puts blue catfish in skinny water — 5 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 40 ft, wintering in 20 to 50 ft. Fall blue catfish concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 21 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | |
| Summer | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (13 ft) | |
| Fall | 15 to 45 ft | dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | |
| Winter | 20 to 50 ft | midday | Break off the point (21 ft) |
