The following fishing reports are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of January 21.

LAKE BROWNWOOD

GOOD. Water stained; 54 degrees; 3.04 feet below pool. Black bass to 9.34 pounds are good on shallow crankbaits on the rocks and docks and Alabama rigs around main lake pockets and points suspended. Crappie are good to 12 inches on minnows, or white and chartreuse or shad colored jigs on the main lake scattered brush piles in 11 feet and shooting jigs under docks in 18-22 feet. White bass are good to 1.5 pounds on crankbaits scattered around the main lake. Catfish are slow on minnows and on jug lines with cut shad or perch in the Main lake docks and drains.

LAKE CISCO

GOOD. Water normal stain; 59 degrees; 16.64 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; 3.37 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; 52 degrees; 19.56 feet below pool. Black Bass are fair to 5 pounds on a variety of shad patterned baits. Alabama rigs, jerkbaits, swim jigs and swimbaits are landing catches in 8-25 feet of water. Long tapering points or channel swings are best. No reports of crappie. White bass are good schooling in river channels 35-40 feet. They are suspended down 20-25 feet. Jigging spoons are working best in the lead-day area of the lake and Turkey Bend. Catfish are slow, but a few being reported on rod-and-reel with shrimp and earthworms near Concho Park along the channels along the edges of the brush 8-12 feet. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.

LAKE PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 49 degrees; 2.90 feet below pool. Crappie are on ledges in about 21-23 feet. Bass moved to deep ledges. Catfish moved deep to 18-23 feet. Hybrids are in the upper end of the lake main river channel on bottom. Report Juan Tienda, local angler.
