Lake Tawakoni Fishing Report-April 2026

Week of April 13, 2026

Week Fishing on Lake Tawakoni continues to be strong, with consistent action for both white bass and hybrid striped bass.

Current Conditions

• Weather: Cloudy
• Air Temp: 72°F
• Wind: South 5–10 mph
• Water Clarity: Good
• Surface Temp: 68–70°F

These stable spring conditions are creating ideal feeding windows and keeping fish active throughout the day.

Where the Fish Are

White bass and hybrids are currently holding in the 10–20 foot depth range, staging in open water and along subtle structure changes.

Schools are moving but remain grouped up, making them highly targetable once located.

Productive Techniques

The most effective setups right now include:

• 4” Banana Sassy Shad (3/4 oz jig heads)
  • Excellent for covering water and staying in the strike zone
• 1.5 oz Silver Slab Spoons
  • Ideal for vertical jigging when fish move deeper

Anglers who adjust between casting swimbaits and vertical jigging are seeing the most success.

Fishing Results

Recent trips are producing:

• Full limits of white bass (3-man limits common)
• Bonus hybrid striped bass mixed in

The bite has been consistent, with steady action once fish are located.

Outlook

As water temperatures hold in the upper 60s, expect this pattern to continue. White bass and hybrids will remain active in mid-depth ranges, providing excellent opportunities for both numbers and quality fish.
