The following fishing reports are provided by the  Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of February 4:

LAKE BROWNWOOD

SLOW. Water stained; 45 degrees; 3.10 feet below pool. Black bass to 8.33 pounds are excellent on soft plastics, in Lone Star Disco color, scoping around docks and stroking them on the ledges in 15-18 feet of water. Throw shallow crankbaits and jigs on the rocks and docks around main lake pockets and suspended points. Crappie are slow to 11 inches on minnows or jigs on main lake scattered brush piles. The best jig colors have been chartreuse and white or shad. White bass are slow with catches up to 1.5 pounds. Fish are scattered around the main lake biting crankbaits. Catfish are slow on minnows and on jug lines with cut shad or perch on the main lake docks and drains.

LAKE CISCO

GOOD. Water normal stain; 51 degrees; 16.70 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; 47 degrees; 3.42 feet below pool. Catfish should be shallow biting shad. Bass are slow. Crappie are slow.

LAKE O.H. IVIE

FAIR. Water stained; 46 degrees; 19.70 feet below pool. Bass are fair with catches up to 9 pounds possible, but primarily 2-4 pound fish. Best baits have been umbrella rigs, small swimbaits on quarter ounce heads, and crankbaits. Target long tapering points or 45 degree angle banks out to 24 feet. Crappie are slow, with some action reported near the Lee day area in deep pecan trees on minnows. White bass have been good in 35-45 feet of water near channel swings. Slabs and jigging spoons working best. A few catfish are still being reported in the rivers. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.

LAKE PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 49 degrees; 2.89 feet below pool. The water temperature is in the 40s, so expect the fish to group up in deep channels in 22-24 feet of water. There may be a shad kill due to the cold water temperatures. This should bring catfish shallow to feed, and look for bird activity. Catfish may be caught on. Shad colored lures for hybrid should also be great. Follow the birds feeding on all the Shad. Report Juan Tienda, local angler.
