Miscellaneous Info
Largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, and white bass fishing are rated good to excellent. Summer and early fall are particularly good for white bass and hybrid striped bass. Florida largemouth were introduced in 1975. Catfish, crappie, and freshwater drum can also be found in this lake.
Lake Brownwood has many small coves, bays, and creeks with a variety of habitat. The lake is primarily lined by rocky structure and boat docks. The upper end of the Jim Ned and Pecan Bayou arms have standing timber, black willow trees and buttonbush. Water willow and bulrush are scattered throughout the lake, but water willow is most abundant in Sowell Creek. Anglers with depth finders should be able to locate numerous humps, ledges, and creek channels.
White bass are most easily caught from early May through October when they school in the main lake area. During this time, both white and hybrid striped bass can be caught on the surface. "Slabbing" ½-1oz. slab spoons along creek and river channels in 12-25 feet of water in late summer for white and hybrid striped bass can produce some fantastic fishing. "Jumpfishing" is a popular technique for schools of surface-feeding fish. Night fishing for white bass under lighted boat docks is also very effective. Largemouth bass fishing is best from September through May. Fishing rocks and points with crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, and topwater will produce.
Several public and private boat ramps are available. Shore fishing is good around some of the lodges and Lake Brownwood State Park. The state park also has a fishing pier. Several pay piers are available by the dam. Several bait shops and marinas are located around the lake. There are jet ski rentals but no fishing boat rentals. There are primitive and improved camping sites, as well as hotels and motels.
