According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife annual survey, which measures pounds of game fish per acre of lake, White Rock Lake has been a great place for fishing over the last several years. Anglers can catch large-mouth bass, crappie, and channel catfish. �It�s an excellent fishery,� says Charles Boseman, operations supervisor for the White Rock Lake Park. �As an inner-city lake, it gets very little pressure from fishing.� That means more�and bigger�fish than you�ll find in some of North Texas� more popular lakes. And the lake�s fish are safe to eat. Recent water quality studies have shown no pollution in White Rock Lake.

in order to go fishing at White Rock Lake, you should purchase a fishing license from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. Licenses are available at area Wal-Marts and most tackle stores

it,ll eat

interesting.
might be a great destination with a float tube

I've tried going for bass on the main lake and have gotten skunked on a few tries, so I've not been very impressed.

I grew up close to White Rock Lake. As a matter of fact, that's where I learned to fish. I'd advise anyone wanting to fish there to be very careful. I hear that the creek on the north end is where you can find some of the best fishing but that's also where the vagrants hang out.

Ive recently fished that creek and never saw a single bum or anyone that looked suspicious.

then again I walk around in Deep Ellum and Downtown Dallas so I am used to the bums. I always carry my knife and I never act scared.

ccabal the bASS are biting june bug color plastics worms and tiny craws . maybe your not holding your mouth right ? lol

WRL is a SUPER bass lake. all sizes! My biggest from wrl, although not registered, just caught and released, on a hand held de-liar was right at 10. Admittedly, came a few years ago, but caught it on a June morning, walking the bank with a Berkley Power Worm, 7-inches, and it was a blue fleck. Texas rigged, with a 3/16th oz bullet weight. Right in front of the Hunt Mansion, no more than 5 ft from the bank!

Over the years have caught too many bass to count, and some hefty ones mixed in with alot of yearlings!

I have also caught quite a few nice bass from WR. Last summer I was going there almost every weekend and while I would occasionally blank I usually caught a few nice bass, catfish, crappie...

I caught a 9 pound channel cat on a chartruse spinnerbait last year. That was a first for me!

heY tHATS where i fish SOMETIMES. WHO U CALLIN VAGRANTS

Jesse catches all the fish. I just have a pic-nic on the bank and score a big ZERO every sunday!

well i get blanked alot to pro . the blue was last early winter . the channel was around 4 yrs ago . i was mainly saying theres some nice fish in there , but you just have to hold your mouth right when fishing it lol

Biggest lmb that I have seen was caught near the spillway last summer. Yet another time I fished and did not catch. Guess that is why it is called fishing and not catching. Female 6lbs, on yellow h&h. weighed on a cheap B.P.S. scale.

I've fished that lake since 1998 and always from the bank. Have caught Bass, Crappie, Sand Bass, Carp, a few turtles & Cats. One of my favorite lakes to fish!
