Review: Lake Pflugerville
Where: East of Pflugerville, Tx (Austin area)
Rating: 3.5/5
Availability: Free
Size: 100 acres
Fish: LMB, Crappie, Channel cats, sunfish

Description: Fairly new community lake built in 2006, deepest point 21 ft. Lots of shallow flats 2-4 ft deep. Starweed and American Pond weed beds in late spring and summer. 1/2 mile wide rock dam and secondary rock dividing structore opposite side of the lake. Stocked every year since 2007.

Fishing can be spotty and it does get crowded at times but it can also be awesome! There are some LARGE bass in here and good numbers of small to medium. Haven't caught a crappie yet and only one channel cat (On a flyrod) but lots of people say they have caught many. largest fish so far has been a 12 Lb. LMB that is pictured at the Pflugerville Dick's sporting goods.

I've personally had good luck with 4" Paca craws, senkos, blue/black spinnerbaits, baby spooks, and mayfly imitations on flyrod.

I've caught everything but crappie on a flyrod late spring to midsummer evenings near the weedbeds along the dam as a very strong mayfly hatch comes off right at dusk. it is literally non-stop as fast as you can reel in, release, and recast. Bass up to 3-4 Lbs and even one channel cat that went about 2.5 Lbs.

Great little community lake, no gas motors allowed. Kayak rentals on site during the summer. Nearest bait shop, Dick's in Pflugerville.

I know where chandlers is where is this pond?

Review: George Bush Park
Where: Houston/Katy, TX (Hwy.6 and Briar Forest Entrance)
Rating: 3/5
Availability: Free
Size: 3 Ponds (maybe 5-6 Acres in Total)
Fish: LMB, Crappie, Spotted Gar

Description: These 3 ponds on Hwy.6 and Briar Forest (check on Google maps). These are man-made ponds where their water levels are fed by rain (part of the Barker reservoir flood plain).

Ive caught LMB and Spotted Gars with Black/Dark and Chartreuse color soft plastics. Crappie have been caught on nightcrawlers. All fish were CPR'ed. You can go to my 'Good-fish' profile to see most of my catches (Adan V).

I focus on LMB, but theres actually hardly any structure that provide good habitats for LMB. The bottoms are smooth clay. So I usually cast parallel to the banks for confidence.

The fish do get few and far in between. Ive sent an email to the administrators of Bush park asking them if the ponds are stocked regularly. They replied that the ponds do not have any fish (whatever).

Still, its a nice place to be outdoors without being out of the city. Its very quiet and nice. Ive seen deer, wild pigs, and hawks. Be careful, because there are snakes, black widows, etc also.

If you do go, PLEASE don't leave trash behind.

Review: George Bush Park (CREEK COVE)
Where: Houston/Katy, TX (Westheimer Pkwy)
Rating: 3/5
Availability: Free
Size: Maybe 2 miles in length
Fish: LMB, Spotted Gar, Carp, Catfish, Bowfin, Im sure theres other species too

Description: This a small creek cove that is fed by rain runoff from the flood plain project. You have to a walk a distance to get to it. If you want to get to every part of the creek, you will need waist high waders to walk through mud and knee high water. There are trees on both sides of the creek, each only 3-4 ft apart from each other, so you have to walk around for awhile to get good bank access and be good at Pitching/Flipping.
The water does get deep. BEWARE: Ive been informed to that there are alligators around. I have yet to see one, but Im keeping my eyes peeled.

Ive caught LMB (Good-size ones), Bowfin, and Gars using black/dark soft plastics. There are pockets of good structure (mainly sunken logs and standing timber) in many places for LMB. Carp and Catfish (Mudcat and Channels) were caught on Nightcrawlers and home-made bait. All fish were CPR'ed.
Again, you can check my Good-fish profile to see lots of them.

Some days are better than others (depending on the elements). I went yesterday evening after work, and I didnt get a single bite for 2.5 hours before having to head home.

Again, if you go, please dont leave your trash behind.

What about bedfords boys ranch? Any fish in there? Also in plano are there any ponds to fish?

Description: Great place to kill a few hours on Sundays! LMB from .5-2.5 thats just what I have had on my line. I use soft platics mostly Color-WM/RF works the best for me. The new Gulp Alive 3" minnow works the best!

Rating:1.5
Types of fish: bass, carp
I caught a little 8 inch bass with a woolly bugger on my fly rod pond is gross it has plastic bags littered in and around it but there are apparently still fish in it.

Nice info about the round rock area. I just found the old settlers pond a little over a week or so ago, haven't had a chance to fish it yet but would like too. Are those ponds good for bank fishing??

Also, does anyone else on here know of any ponds in central Texas to fish, perfer cats
