Largemouth Bass
Lake Ray Roberts near Denton is a premier destination for largemouth bass anglers in North Texas. Its diverse habitat, including submerged timber, rocky points, and grassy flats, provides ample cover for bass of all sizes. Spring is the prime time for targeting spawning bass in the shallows, while summer finds them holding in deeper water around structure. Fall can be excellent as bass feed aggressively before winter. Texas-rigged worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lure choices. A local tip: Focus on the many boat docks and marinas around the lake, as these often hold bass seeking shade and ambush points. Lake Ray Roberts is known for producing quality bass, so be prepared for a potential trophy. Remember to check the latest lake levels and fishing regulations before you go.
