YOUR LAKE AUSTIN FISHING GUIDE

Lake Austin is formerly known as Lake Mcdonald and is a reservoir located on the Colorado River. The lake is very popular for recreational boaters, but that doesn’t mean excellent fishing opportunities arent available.

All species of fish on Lake Austin fall under the statewide rules and regulations of the state of Texas.

Previously a permit was required for harvesting grass carp, however, that is no longer the case and grass carp can be harvest as long as they are properly gutted and the heads have been removed.

Perhaps one of the best Lake Austin Bass fishing tips is how to avoid the heavy amount of boat traffic during the peak summer months. During this time of year make sure to book your fishing guide service for early morning or evening to avoid the crowds for the best fishing trip possible.

Fishing at night requires extra caution for boaters, so make sure you are familiar with the lake and if not fishing guides are a great resource to learn your favorite local fishing spot.

The bass on this body of water tends to spawn later in the year than most lakes in the area. The reason for the late spawn is because cold water is released from Lake Travis, which is located upstream from Lake Austin.
