Lady Bird Lake Fishing Report – Spring Update

Lady Bird Lake is at a normal level with clear water and about 4–6 feet of visibility. Water temperatures are around 68°, and bass are holding shallow, generally less than 15 feet deep. Fish are relating heavily to submerged vegetation in and around spawning areas, with some still actively spawning and others staging nearby.

The most consistent bite has been coming on Texas-rigged stick worms worked through submerged grass. Anglers have been finding success by covering water until they locate fish, then slowing down and thoroughly fishing those areas to pick up multiple bites. While the bite has been fairly steady throughout the day, the afternoon hours have been slightly more productive overall.

Lake Austin is at a normal level with clear water and about 4–6 feet of visibility. Water temperatures are around 65°, and bass are in all phases of the spawn. Fish are holding shallow across the lake, and it’s common to run into small groups that can produce quick flurries of action before things slow down again.

The most consistent bite has been coming on finesse presentations, especially drop-shot rigged worms and Texas-rigged stick worms worked through submerged vegetation on the main lake. Anglers have been finding success by focusing on productive grass areas, where bass are staging, spawning, or guarding beds, and taking their time to thoroughly fish each stretch.

January 2026- Lake Travis - fish are out deep on ledges and channel swings in 30 to 40 ft, fish very slowly with soft plastics like a drop shot or wacky worm, jigs with craw trailers also working well with a slow presentation, when the bass are feeding and a little bit more active we are catching them on umbrella rigs, small finesse swim baits, and crank baits with a very tight wobble like a rapala shad rap.
