The following fishing reports are provided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the week of February 25:

LAKE BROWNWOOD

SLOW. Water stained; 58 degrees; 3.22 feet below pool. Black bass to 8.23 pounds are excellent on soft plastic finesse lure in Lone Star Disco color scoping around docks and jigs in 10-12 feet, or jerkbaits in 3-8 feet on the rocks around main lake pockets and points. Crappie are fair to 10 inches on minnows in the main lake scattered brush piles and on docks 15-18 feet. White bass are slow to 1.25 pounds with fish scattered around the main lake. Catfish are good to 10 pounds on jug lines with cut carp from Little Jim Ned to the Christian retreat.

LAKE CISCO

GOOD. Water normal stain; 62 degrees; 16.78 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; 52 degrees; 3.52 feet below pool. Target bass on the points with red crankbait or lipless crankbaits.

LAKE O.H. IVIE

FAIR. Water stained; 56 degrees; 19.94 feet below pool. Largemouth bass are good for catches up to 6 pounds, a few up to 9 pounds, and one over 13 pounds. There are a lot of fish moving shallow in 3-6feet of water biting swim jigs, weightless flukes, and bladed jigs. Deeper fish are still being caught on umbrella rigs with small swimming minnows and larger swimbaits scoping a little deeper 15- 25 feet. Crappie fishing is starting to improve in 20-30 feet of water with fish suspended 10 feet into the treetops. Minnows working best. White bass are good with a few reports of them moving up rivers. Rattletraps are working best suspended in the river channels or in the mouth of small creeks. Catfish are slow. Report by Wendell Ramsey, Ramsey Fishing.

LAKE PROCTOR

FAIR. Water stained; 56 degrees; 2.94 feet below pool. Good afternoon. This week the water temp is 58 degrees. Crappie are on ledges in about 12-18 feet. Bass moved to ledges around 15 feet. Catfish moved shallow to 5-15 feet. Hybrids are in the upper end of the lake main river channel suspended. The fish have started an early spring pattern and will be moving closer to banks soon. Report Juan Tienda, local angler.
