No gar in it as far as I know.

No gar. The E side of the main lake has coves with rocky shorelines and timber mixed in that offers decent LMB fishing once you learn a few spots. Work the dam and the main lake points as well - - a couple of the points extend out quite a ways from shore and have submerged timber. Unfortunately, no grass to speak of. The W shoreline is generally shallower, but has a few decent LMB spots as well. For hybrids, learn the creek channels, ridges and humps - - just be observant of boats fishing out from shore and couple that with some looks at maps and charts and you'll pick up spots pretty quickly - - it's not a very big lake. White bass and pesky yellow bass too. All that said, take your patience with you - - Benbrook can be a very humbling lake at times. Good luck!

It is a humbling lake, but I keep going back for more. If you want to learn the lake and some tactics I'd say book a trip with Kerry "Benbrook Guide". Judging by your username, you may be my kind of peeps! You got a boat? What is it and I'll keep an eye out for ya'. Welcome to the 'hood.
