The following fishing reports are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of December 3:

LAKE BROWNWOOD

GOOD. Water stained; 65 degrees; 2.42 feet below pool. Black bass to 8 pounds are good in 13-28 feet of water on Alabama rigs and scope minnows, or along the shoreline on bladed jigs, crankbaits and jigs in 3-8 feet of water. The bite in the major creeks is starting to pick up on jigs and spinnerbaits. Crappie are excellent to 12 inches on minnows and jigs on the main lake scattered brush piles in 10-15 feet of water. White bass are slow to 1.50 pounds out of the lights at night. Catfish are fair on jug lines with cut shad or perch.

LAKE CISCO

GOOD. Water normal stain; 72 degrees; 16.09 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; 62 degrees; 2.82 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; 57 degrees; 18.78 feet below pool. Black bass numbers are good with catches up to 8 pounds. Crankbaits have been catching some fish in shad patterns, but the mainstay is small jigs with swimmers or a flatliner worm in pumpkin or brown pumpkin. No reports for crappie. White bass are good. Fish are schooling on the main lake in 30-35 feet of water. Catches up to 2.5 pounds are being reported on slabs and jigging spoons. Catfish are fair to 20 pounds on jug lines, cut bait and stink bait in the river areas. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.
