Crappie
If crappie is your target, Milford, Texas, and the surrounding Richland-Chambers Reservoir won't disappoint. This lake is a crappie haven, thanks to its abundant standing timber and submerged structure. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Target brush piles, submerged trees, and creek channels in 5-10 feet of water. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. During the summer months, crappie tend to move deeper, congregating around submerged structure in the main lake. Using your electronics to locate these schools is crucial. Fall can also be a productive time as the water cools and crappie move back towards the shallows. The FM416 bridge area is a popular spot, but exploring the many coves and creeks will yield results. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits. Richland-Chambers is a large lake, so a boat is highly recommended for accessing the best crappie spots.
