Largemouth Bass

Leander, Texas, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities, primarily centered around Lake Travis. While Lake Travis is known for its fluctuating water levels, it consistently holds a healthy population of largemouth. Spring is the prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn. Focus on the backs of coves and areas with submerged timber or vegetation. Summer can also be productive, especially during early morning or late evening hours. During the hotter months, try fishing deeper structure with Carolina rigs or deep-diving crankbaits. A local tip: Pay attention to the lake levels, as this can significantly impact bass behavior and location. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information. The largemouth in Lake Travis are known to be somewhat line shy due to the clear water, so using fluorocarbon leaders can improve your success. The Arkansas Bend Park is a popular and easily accessible spot.
