Richland-Chambers Lake is a great bass fishing lake. But not only the bass it has a great number of large fish in it. Summertime brings on the anglers and the heat.

What you'll find is Black and White bass, blue and channel catfish, largemouth bass, crappie, hybrid stripers, smallmouth buffalo and carp. Spinner baits, Rattle traps and shallow running crank baits are great for the Bass. Try fishing around the edges of the grass and brush. They like to hold in the backs of coves or creeks. Also try around the boat houses brush piles or grass around them. Catfish take to the trotlines and jug lines in 14 to 18ft of water using live perch or shad. Thirty to fifty pounders aren't uncommen. Try shad, shrimp or Danny Kings punch bait when fishing in 2 to 14ft of water with the rod reel. If fishing shallow fish try some soured maze.
The reservoir
Another tip for summertime is to beat the heat of the day and the anglers by trying a bit bass fishing by night.Your lures will look a bit different to the fish making for some great catches. As we move towards the cooler climes the Bass will move into the creeks and around the boat docks. Richard Chambers Lake is found about one hours drive south of Dallas off Interstate 45 The reservoir was opened in the late 1980s. Being a new lake there are still many facilities under development, however you will plenty of things for the angler in you. There are public boat ramps, marinas, and a lakeside campground. It has deep water which is great for sailing, you can water ski and of course the fishing for native largemouth and Florida-strain bass, sand bass, crappie, coppernose bluegill, and catfish is fantastic. |
