Lake Travis Water Temperature? - 05/30/16 11:41 PM
Anyone know what the water temperature is on Lake Travis? When it gets up to about 85 degrees, I want to find a a good place on the lake to fish in my float tube.

Around 70. It should be up to 85 by August.

Ouch, hope it won't be that long Bob.
the temp yesterday was 74...there may not be a 85 this summer depending on water releases and power generations. Perhaps back in cypress creek area, or other larger arms will not have the colder influx of main lake water.

I wade in about knee deep when I launch and it does seem like it's taking longer than usual to warm up this year. I'm sure there is some historical data somewhere on line but I havn't looked for it.

Lake Travis is one of the few lakes that have real time water temperature on line.
Look at this site. The current surface temperature is 76 degrees.
