Crappie
If you're chasing crappie in the Texas Hill Country, Burnet offers some excellent opportunities. The Highland Lakes, particularly Lake Buchanan and Inks Lake, are prime crappie habitat. Buchanan, with its submerged timber and fluctuating water levels, can be challenging but rewarding. Inks Lake, being a constant-level lake, provides more consistent fishing conditions. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie here, as they move shallow to spawn. Look for them in brush piles, around docks, and in coves. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. A local tip: Buchanan can get muddy after heavy rains, so check lake conditions before heading out. The boat ramp at Cedar Lodge on Buchanan is a popular access point. Also, Inks Lake State Park offers excellent bank fishing access for those without a boat. The crappie in these lakes tend to be decent-sized, with some slabs reaching over two pounds.
