Along the southern portion of the lake, lies an abundance of submerged timber. You will see
many fishermen "working the stumps" searching for crappie and catfish. Many of the trees are
just below the surface of the water so use caution when navigating in this area. Richland
Creek, Ash Creek and White Creek feed into the upper end of the lake and are great places to
fish after a rain. Good crappie fishing can be also be found around stands of bodark trees that
stand out of the water about 10 feet.
There are good fishing coves on the north side of the lake where smaller creeks flow into the
lake. One cove is between Pecan Point Park and Wolf Creek Park and the other is on the west
side of Oak Park near the boat ramp. Crappie can be found up in these creeks after a rain. If
you are looking for sand bass, make sure to troll the "flats" that lie on the north side of the lake
between Oak Park and Wolf Creek Park.
There are several submerged structures in the
lake that provide good cover for fish. Try the
concrete water intake (abandoned by the City
of Dawson) near the Marina in Liberty Hill Park.
Or check out the old concrete bridge that
crossed Richland Creek before the lake was
built. It measures 120 feet in length and has
concrete sides that are still intact. If you get a
chance, come by the Marina and see more
photos of the old bridge before the area was
flooded.
