29,000-acre reservoir near Lewisville. The lake tops out around 69 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Lewisville Lake draws 25,489 acres inside 189 miles of shoreline — 5 islands included. The 8.4 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. 44% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 11.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 11.5 mi at the beam. The water lies in Denton County. The nearest mapped water is Grapevine Lake, 13 mi to the southwest.
Start shallow in spring: largemouth bass sit in 2 to 10 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 15 to 35 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for largemouth bass in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
