Spotted Bass
If spotted bass are on your list, Valley View, Texas, offers access to some decent fishing opportunities. While not as prevalent as largemouth, spotted bass can be found in Lake Ray Roberts and some of the smaller creeks and streams in the area. These fish tend to prefer clearer water and rocky structure compared to largemouth. Spring and fall are ideal times to target them. Look for spots near rocky points, submerged timber, and creek channels. Smaller crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and finesse worms are effective lures. A local's secret is to fish around the Highway 377 bridge on Ray Roberts; the riprap there often holds spotted bass. Spotted bass in this region typically range from 1-3 pounds, but larger specimens are possible. Consider using lighter line and more sensitive rods to detect their often subtle bites. Don't overlook the smaller feeder creeks flowing into Ray Roberts, particularly after a rain; these can concentrate spotted bass.
