A REEL GOOD TIME IN Breckenridge

It is boating season. With water at about 60 degrees and largemouth bass, crappie, and catfishpresent, it is a great time to get on the waters. On Sandy, Hubbard, and Brushy Creek in Stephens County, individuals can have their fishand eat them too.

With Hubbard Creek located 51 miles northeast of Abilene and about five miles west of Breckenridge, the upcoming months are perfect to go fishin.

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD), the predominant fishspecies on the reservoir are largemouth bass, white crappie, channel, flathed and blue catfish white bass and freshwater drum. Florida largemouth bass were introduced into the body of water in 1979.

Late fall and winter, the reservoir is expected to be full, with white crappie and white bass fishingin Hubbard and Sandy Creeks.

Hubbard Creek Lake is also a popular destination for largemouth bass and the lake has a good population of catfish, especially blue catfish

According to the TPWD, Hubbard Creek Lake has abundant standing timber, brush, boat docks, black willow trees, buttonbush, and aquatic vegetation. Rocky structure and cover are also abundant.

TheTPWD website provides effective techniques during this time of the year, one of which is to locate

brush in 10-15 feet of water in the creek channel and vertically fisha minnow or small jig.

Hubbard Creek Lake is also effectively fishedusing crankbaits and topwater lures. During late summer and early fall, schools of largemouth and white bass will often feed on the surface around the Tanglewood Island area. Drift fishingshad during the summer is a good technique for blue catfish Flipping bulrush, standing timber, and the brush is very effective for largemouth bass, according to TPWD.

Possum Kingdom Lake

Possum Kingdom Lake is a reservoir on the Brazos River which is famous for some of the most gorgeous and scenic shoreline views in the state including Hell’s Gate.

Thereservoir has a shoreline of 219 miles and an area of 16,716 acres which is filed with an abundance of large fish

According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife website, Striped bass are stocked and provide a fair fishey with good growth potential and strong fightingcharacteristics. The

lake record is a 55.6 lb. catfish. White bass are abundant and of good size. Largemouth are also found in the Possum Kingdom reservoir. Florida-strain largemouths have been stocked and help provide trophy potential, as evidenced by the lake record of a 16.02-lb fishcaught on rod and reel in 1989.

Largemouth bass can be found throughout the lake and can be caught on any of the typical bass baits. Anglers should be prepared to fish10 to 25-foot depths and use as light of a line as possible due

to the clear water. Thy should also concentrate on submerged vegetation when found.

Striped bass anglers can look for birds feeding on bait driven to the surface by schools of hungry stripers. Striped bass are often caught using live shad or artificialbait. White bass action can be very good during prespawn and the spring spawning run, especially up towards the Brazos River mouth. Jigs and spoons or slabs are the recommended baits for White bass.

TheHell’s Gate Bass Club is a great way to get involved in competitive bass fishin. Theclub holds tournaments throughout the year. Each tournament points are awarded to fishers depending on their finish and their fish’s weights are recorded and accumulated with the rest of the year totals. At the end of the season, the leaders of the points and weight division are awarded a trophy. Theclub also hands out awards for Angler of the Year, Big Bass of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Champion of Champions and Youth Angler of the Year at the end of the season.

Catfishaction can be good for all species. Channel, blue and flathed catfishare all present, with some especially large blue cats. Thelargest fishever recorded to be caught on Possum Kingdom Lake via rod and reel was a Blue Catfishin 2011 which weighed 55.6 lbs. A 30.9 lb. Flathead Catfishwas recorded to be caught via rod and reel on the lake in 2018.

Costello Island and above are likely locations to catch catfish Cut bait, chicken livers, prepared stink bait, live shiners and/or sunfishare recommended baits for catfis fishin.

Possum Kingdom Lake is also home to the catfis tournament with the largest payout in the nation: the Possum Kingdom CatMasters. The2022 CatMasters competition was held Jan. 21 and 22 at the PK Chamber of Commerce with a firstplace prize of $30,000

Lake Graham & Lake Eddleman

TWO LAKES AS ONE

On the Salt Creek in Young County lies two lakes connected by a single canal, Lake Graham and Eddleman.

The two lakes were connected via a canal after June 1959 and serve as tributaries of the Brazos River. Eddleman Dam was built on Flint Creek in 1928 while the Graham Dam was built on Salt Creek in 1958.

The construction on the Graham Dam started Sept. 17, 1956 and was completed in July 1958. Work began in 1957 and ended in 1958 to raise the height of the Eddleman Dam during the construction phase of the Graham Dam.

Deliberate impoundment of water began April 28, 1958. Freese and Nichols served as the engineers on the project and Weldon C. Jourdan served as the general contractor.

According to the Handbook of

Texas Online, the lake was possibly named for brothers Edwin S. and Gustavus Graham, who purchased 125,000 acres of land near Graham in 1871.

The top of the earth-filled dam is at an elevation of 1,093.3 feet above the mean sea level. The uncontrolled spillway is cut in the natural ground with a crest at an elevation of 1,076.3 feet above mean sea level.

Lake fishing

The predominant fish species in the lake are largemouth bass, white and hybrid striped bass, channel c atfish and white crappie. Largemouth bass, catfish and crappie are rated good for angling. Fishing for largemouth bass and crappie can depend on season and water level.

Lake Graham is a power plant reservoir, but the plant operates only when demand is high, so it does not provide consistent winter fishing.

The hot-water discharge is located on the Eddleman portion of the reservoir. The lake offers a variety of cover including smartweed, bulrush, pondweed and lotus. Anglers can also find buttonbush, boat docks, riprap, standing timber, brush, and black willow trees. The shorelines of both lakes are rocky.

The hot-water discharge is an excellent area to fish during the winter, especially for hybrid striped bass and white bass. Hybrid stripers are also consistently caught in the equalization channel between Graham and Eddleman and around the dam on the Graham side. For bass, with the variety of cover, a number of techniques can be productive, including flipping, dock fishing, topwater and spinnerbaits.

Fishing events

The Graham High School fishing team, an extracurricular program, which is not recognized as an

actual Texas University Interscholastic League sport, is sponsored by assistant principal and boys soccer coach Tim Wankowicz. Theprogram works with the Texas High School Bass Association in setting schedules and competitions against other groups from schools throughout Texoma. Teams are formed in pairs, with two anglers in a boat. Th fishemen must be of high school age. Wankowicz said in a previous interview that teaching the club was a way for him to be able to share the love for fishingand to introduce the activity to other kids.

“I really wanted to be able to show an appreciation for the sport, wildlife and competition,” he said. “Meredith Lucas and her son Rob started it back when Rob was a freshman. Thy raised money and got team uniforms. Thy also did a lot of the leg work to get it started because he loves fishin. Since I love fishingand getting kids involved in things at school I said I’m all over this. Rob made the state tournament that year and won Rookie the Year for the entire state of Texas.”

Theclub often spends hours in the fall practicing catching largemouth bass, white bass and hybrid striped bass in Lake Graham and Eddleman to prepare for upcoming tournaments. Graham’s team competes in the West Division and has meets at Lake Texoma, Lake Granbury, Lake Whitney, Lake Lewisville and Possum Kingdom Lake.

All rules and regulations are based on the THSBA rulebook and the Texas Parks and Wildlife restrictions.

Access

Thee are three public boat ramps, one fishingpier, a picnic area, and sites for primitive and improved camping. Shore fishingis limited to the area around the boat ramp on the Eddleman portion of the reservoir and along the U.S. 380 causeways.
