The following fishing reports are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of January 7:

LAKE BROWNWOOD

GOOD. Water stained; 54 degrees; 2.85 feet below pool. Black bass to 4.5 pounds are good on all-around jigs and shallow crankbaits on the rocks and docks, or with 5-7 inch minnow style baits scoping main lake pockets suspended over 18-25 feet. Crappie are good to 1.75 pounds with minnows, and pink/yellow or shad jigs on the main lake scattered brush piles and shooting jigs under docks in 18-22 feet. White bass are good to 1.50 pounds on crankbaits scattered around the main lake. Catfish are fair to 33 pounds with minnows, or on jug lines with cut shad or perch in the main lake docks and drains.

LAKE CISCO

GOOD. Water normal stain; 59 degrees; 16.46 feet above pool. Cooler weather and passing fronts have brought north winds and occasional light rain to Lake Cisco, making conditions a bit tougher but still producing fish. Catfish remain the most consistent bite, with anglers catching good numbers on cut shad and punch bait around creek channels. Crappie action is slowly improving on brush and timber in 12-20 feet using minnows. Bass reports are light, but a few are moving shallow on warmer afternoons and hitting spinnerbaits and squarebills around rocks. Wind can make the lake choppy, so use caution.

LAKE COLEMAN

SLOW. Water stained; 55 degrees; 3.19 feet below pool. Bass are fair to 3 pounds on small finesse worms in 10-15 feet of water. Crappie good to 2 pounds on jigs and minnows in 10-15 feet of water on the main lake docks and in the timber towards the creek.

LAKE O.H. IVIE

FAIR. Water stained; 55 degrees; 19.31 feet below pool. Black bass are good to 6 pounds with a few fish up to 8 pounds. Bass are in 10-25 feet on umbrella rigs, swimbaits, crankbaits and jerkbaits. Most fish are feeding on shad pattern baits off long tapering points and inside channel swings with brush. White bass are good with solid fish to 2 pounds on umbrella rigs in deep water around 25-40 feet. Slabs and spoons are also working in the schools. Crappie no report. Catfish have been good in shallow water along rock bluffs with deep water access. Cut shad and cheese bait working best. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.

LAKE PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 53 degrees; 2.72 feet below pool. Cold fronts push catfish to deep ledges and points. Before the cold front catfish were in 18-21 feet of water, and shallower on warmer days. Crappie are on ledges in about 18-21 feet. Bass moved to deep ledges. Hybrids are in the upper end of the lake main river channel. Report Juan Tienda, local angler.
