Hi, I am new to the area and I live real close to eagle mountian and thought I would be happy fishing but almost everytime I go out I catch 1 fish around 4 lbs to 5 lbs and 1 or 2 14-15 inch fish most of the time along with a lot of small fish. I am not trying to complain but is this normal for lakes in this area. My home lake was sam rayburn and I know that its not apples to apples but just trying to get a feel for the area lakes. I am also looking at ray roberts and I will take any advice I can get on area lakes. Thanks

It seems to be from what I can tell. I have had fun fishing it but I am looking for some more productive / consistent water in the area. Grapevine,roberts...? Thanks

Roberts would be a good choice, or just if you head out west Hubbard Creeks is golden

I think you will find that there are a lot of pretty good fish in EM. I fished several evening tournaments this summer and it seemed to always take 15 plus to win and 10 to 13 to get a check. Doesn't seem too bad. I wish it had some grass and wood to add some variety though.

60fordtruck,
I thought the same thing, when I moved up here from Rayburn.
I drive around EM, for 2 days looking for grass and trees, all I could find were those boat docks.
It's a very fickle lake, and most of the time you will catch a lot of fish, and get 1 or 2 nice ones mixed in.
The closest lakes around here in my opinion that compare to Rayburn would be Hubbard Creek in Breckenridge or Lake Fork.

Grass and wood would be nice on em, it would feel a little like home to me. 3-5 fish at 15lbs total isn't bad! I will keep at it on em and visit some of the other lakes real soon. I would like to know a little more about the location of Hubbard creek I think I will try to roll over there. Just a little more work on my part should help. Thanks guys

Thanks guys To get to Hubbard Creek take HWY 180 out of Weatherford and stay on it until you get to Breckenridge, it will take you about an hour and half, I would guess. Go through Breckenridge on 180 and you will run into Hubbard Creek.

I have never fished Eagle Mountain... if it is more fickle than Ray Roberts I hope I never do.
And I know who "Jeff" is.
