GO FISH!

No. 3: Falcon International Reservoir Falcon International Reservoir, or Falcon Lake, is a wonderful choice for diverse fishing. While it’s a great spot for bass fishing, you can catch an abundance of catfish here too. There are many public areas to settle in, but your best bet will be Falcon State Park, which includes public amenities, boat ramps, camping, and a picnic area. It’s deep in South Texas, right along the border with Mexico, but the drive is worth it!

It’s also only 65 miles east of Dallas, a little over an hour’s drive. Lake Fork attracts serious anglers from all across the nation.

No. 4: Guadalupe River A short drive fromAustin, this river is stocked year-round with freshwater fish by the Texas Parks andWildlife Department. Fishing enthusiasts not only love the rainbow trout here but also enjoy exploring the area’s gorgeous forested hills and valleys. No. 5: Colorado Bend State Park Speaking of exploring, you’ll love Colorado Bend State Park if you love hiking, kayaking, and swimming along with fishing bass! No fishing license needed.
