Needing access pointers below PK dam

Needing access pointers below PK dam - 07/26/16 02:49 AM

I was wondering how good access was to the area below PK dam. I was there a couple of yrs ago and parked in a lot off Red Bluff Road but couldn't quit find the spot. Is there good trail access to below the dam area for bank fishing? figured that with the recent huge outflows from PK that there's still a decent amount of fish below the dam in the Brazos. Also any hints as to what's been hot there in regards to catches and presentation?
And how about under the Hwy 16 bridge ?

Thanks,
Chris

Take the road by the fish hatchery building & it will take you up near the base of the dam. You will have to walk less than 100 yards from there. There are numerous paths that will take you down to the water (fairly steep but manageable). Good populations of LMB, stripers/sandies, catfish & carp are there. Same goes for the area under the Hwy 16 bridge. With the lake levels back to normal there have been steady crowds of fishermen at both places on the weekends. It is MUCH quieter on the weekdays if you can make it out there.
