Small lakes list

Over time I've researched lakes for tubing, small boats etc. I've mentioned this list before and from time to time guys will find the old posts and PM me for the lakes.... So here are a few I recall off the top of my head. Will add more as I remember them. Some are bigger than others and some are sized similiarly to these but I left off the list due to distance from ramp to good fishing (like Monticello). Research them, plan a trip and catch a hawg!

And add a few if you like!

Awesome anybody got a list for ponds that you can kayak or tube fish etc. Examples like South lake in Farmersville and Prosper town lake?

Bouton Lake, Little Bouton Lake, Boykin Springs and Lake Ratcliff are all perfect for tubers, kayakers, etc.

Muenster is pretty well young fish still but should be promising in a few more years I imagine? Winter this past year probably didn't help with a lake that size, and I know the summers aren't helping any of them (LBJ grasslands lakes are GONE)

Clear lake and Black creek still have water but the surface area is way down on both. I

Windmill lake has very little water in them.

I went out to them Friday to see how bad they were.

As a kid I did a lot fishing at Lake Holbrook my grandparents have a cabin with a dock there and my brother and I used to catch big bluegills and sunfish off of it. I caught my first LMB off that dock when I was a kid. Good memories of that lake. Now I live right by Lake Lavon....but I grew up in Wylie I just live on the other side of the lake now.

Wonder if some one has hips coordinates for these lakes.

rhodes lake in lbj grasslands is just about gone too. Dan's Pond is gone, went out today and the last puddle is about the size of a kitchen table, a few centimeters deep. Small school of minnows were all that was left along with a baby snapping turtle. Crappie and bass bones everywhere.

Lake Bryson, Waterloo Lake, and Loy Lake.

I'll add a few

Southlake-Farmersville
Dean Gilbert - Sherman, TX
Pickens Lake(aka Herman Baker Park) - Sherman
Alvarado, Aquilla, and Navarro Mills

can you put small boats in at herman baker park/pickens lake in Sherman? I have never had luck there form the shore at all but would be a fun little spot even just to cruise on the pond prowler, very nice area there.

rhodes was fishing heaven just a few years ago. I caught my 3 biggest bass from there including one just under 10. I'm sad

every time someone brings up LBJ grasslands I want to cry... that was me and my wife's favorite place to go out and enjoy life on the 2 man boats. Perfect fisheries/nature areas. Just far enough away and just accessible enough.

Mulholland,

I know what you mean. I grew up fishing on those lakes.......... I want to cry when I remember the times I had with my dad on the grasslands.........

Its ok for grown men to cry. Go ahead and let it out

You can put boats in but of course there is no ramp so its a long drag.
They only allow paddle crafts and/or electric motors. No gas engines.

To the best of my knowledge there is no restrictions on motors for Southlake. Used to see bass boats there all the time before it got well known. Things change though and perhaps the sign has been updated since I was there last.

I got a pm asking about this list from long ago

BUMP

Just stumbled on this...Thx so much....Still lookin Electric only list....

I can add some. Buescher, Boerne, Elmendorf, Woodlawn, Miller's pond, Converse north park, Southside Lions park.

Hubbard City Lakes, especially the one right off of 31 on the south side
Upper and Lower Palestine City Lakes (if fishing around a gator or two doesn't freak you out)

Why R U crying? Did they go DRY?what Happened?

They have gotten very low at different times over the years, but they look amazing these days. Fishing is still very good.

In Mt. Pleasant......

Lake Tankersley
Old City Lake
New City Lake
Bob Sandlin (Stay in the coves around the county park).

Nice bass and crappie in all of them.

I forgot to mention Like Oak park. I've never gone to that one since they don't allow inflatable kayaks only hardshells.
