Other places to fish at Lake Lyndon B. Johnson

Llano River arm above Kingsland

White bass spawning run water from February through May; Lions Club boat ramp in Kingsland gives close access to the upper reaches. (tpwd.texas.gov, accessed September 29, 2026)

Colorado River arm docks

Thousands of docks line the developed shoreline; docks near deeper water on the Colorado River arm are especially good for flipping and pitching largemouth. (tpwd.texas.gov, accessed September 29, 2026)

Water willow and spatterdock creek backs

Shallow vegetative cover in creek arms off the main lake; flipping water willow with worms and jigs can produce largemouth year-round. (tpwd.texas.gov, accessed September 29, 2026)

Horseshoe Bay power plant discharge

A small power plant discharges warm water in winter, concentrating forage and game fish in that area. (tpwd.texas.gov, accessed September 29, 2026)

Lower rocky banks near the dam

Clearer water and rocky banks where topwaters, willowleaf spinnerbaits, and shallow- to medium-depth crankbaits work along the bank. (tpwd.texas.gov, accessed September 29, 2026)
