Casting a line in Lewisville Lake is one of the best ways to take a break from the city. Only a half-hour drive from the center of Dallas, you'll find yourself among numerous beaches, hiking trails, and, most importantly, great fishing spots. Being one of the largest lakes in north Texas, it holds lots of fish throughout the year – even in winter. Find a Lewisville Lake fishing guide and they'll show you a good time on these waters, rain or shine!

 

You'll find the most popular Texas freshwater species in one place. Crappie, the tastiest Panfish around, can be found under bridges, while Spotted Bass move around lake humps. White Bass keep high action when other species fail and Catfish will give you an unforgettable arm workout, as it's the largest fish in the area. Let's not forget that the lake has a fair amount of Hybrid and Largemouth Bass as well.

 

Some fishing guides are active only during summer months but you can take a fishing trip any time of year. The trips vary from 4–8 hours, depending on what you're after. If your goal for the day is to target different fish species, catch a trophy, or test out various fishing techniques, a full day trip is the right choice. The cherry on top is that you usually get to keep your catch at the end of the trip.

 

Find a good restaurant nearby and sip a glass of cold beer, while you're waiting for your well-earned fish to be prepared.
