Largemouth Bass

Lago Vista, Texas, offers some fantastic largemouth bass fishing, primarily due to its location on the shores of Lake Travis. This Highland Lakes reservoir is known for its clear water and rocky structure, which provides excellent habitat for largemouth. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish as they move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, rocky points, and boat docks. A local tip: early morning topwater action can be explosive in the coves, especially during the warmer months. For shore access, try the parks along FM 1431, but be aware that water levels fluctuate significantly, impacting access. Lake Travis largemouth are known for their fight; the clear water makes them wary, so stealth and accurate casts are key. Remember to check lake levels and boat ramp availability before heading out.
