Has anyone fished Big Lake Park in Plano? I see on the TPWD website it's been stocked with catfish as a community fishing lake. I walked the whole pond/lake with the dogs today and scouted out the creek (I think it's Spring Creek)below the lake. No signs of anyone fishing there, no trash, no fishing line, fishing trash etc... just joggers and walkers. So, anyone thats got any info please let me know I'm fishing there Wednesday.

really not a lake, just a stretch of wide creek with a dam. i used to ride my bike there as a kid. i had a pocket knife, line, hooks, weights, and a bag of canned corn in my pocket. i would cut a branch from a willow for a pole, and catch perch all day long. i remember catching a few bass back then. also lots of mudcats. this was in the early 80's. i stopped by there a while back scouting for a place to take my nephews fishing. plenty of little perch in there still. if they have stocked it with channel cats there may be some good fish in there. catch ya a couple perch, cut them into halves or thirds, and you will have the best possible bait. dont be surprised if you catch a turtle.

I am not fished in fished Big Lake Park in Plano. Thanks for users posted the information about the big lake park.

Fished there quite a few times over the last year as it is at the end of my street... Caught a few smaller LMB's. Nothing of any size, there are a ton of perch though.

Fished Big Lake Park this week and caught a ton of sunfish and a few small cats. No bass. Fun place to take the kids to tear up some worms.
