We'll show you how to work your rod and reel to give these powerful fish a run for their money. It's not uncommon to have doubles or even triples when we hit a school just right - talk about a workout for your arms!
Fish Tales: Hybrid Hype and Catfish Craze
Lewisville Lake is famous for its hybrid striped bass, and for good reason. These fish are like aquatic freight trains - when they hit, you better hold on tight! Hybrids are a cross between striped bass and white bass, giving them the best of both worlds: the size and fight of a striper with the aggressive feeding habits of a white bass. They school up and when you find them, it's game on. As for the catfish, well, they're the heavyweight champs of the lake. Channel cats, blues, and even the occasional flathead provide a different kind of thrill. There's nothing quite like the steady pull of a big catfish as it tries to take you for a ride around the lake.
Species Spotlight: Lewisville's Finest
Hybrid Striped Bass: These bad boys are the main event on Lewisville. Averaging 3-8 pounds, with some topping 10 pounds or more, hybrids are pure muscle. They love to hit bait hard and make blistering runs that'll have your drag singing. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Hybrids are schooling fish, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch - get ready for some fast and furious action!
White Bass: Don't let their smaller size fool you - white bass are pound-for-pound some of the scrappiest fish in the lake. These silvery fighters usually run 1-3 pounds and love to hit in flurries. They're most active in the spring during their spawning run, but you can find them busting shad on the surface throughout the warmer months. When a school of whites gets fired up, you can catch them on almost every cast.
Catfish: Lewisville's catfish are the perfect complement to our hybrid fishing. Channel cats are the most common, typically weighing 2-10 pounds, but don't be surprised if a 20+ pound blue cat decides to crash the party. Catfish are bottom feeders and respond well to our bait presentation. They're active year-round but really turn on during the warmer months. There's a special kind of excitement when your rod doubles over and you're locked in a tug-of-war with a whisker-faced giant.

Once you've felt a hybrid striper nearly yank the rod out of your hands or battled a big blue cat determined to stay on the bottom, you'll be itching to get back out there.

Learn more about the species
Striped Bass
Stripers are the bruisers of Lewisville Lake, known for powerful runs and impressive size. These fish can grow over 20 pounds, with distinct dark stripes on a silvery body. They're structure-oriented, so focus on drop-offs, points, and underwater humps. Early mornings and evenings are prime time, especially in summer when they chase shad near the surface. Stripers put up an amazing fight and taste great too. Live bait like shad or big minnows work well, but they'll also hit topwater lures and deep-diving crankbaits. Here's a local secret: On windy days, troll large swimbaits along windblown shores where bait gets pushed up. The big ones often lurk there, waiting to ambush an easy meal.
White Bass
White Bass (Morone chrysops) Fish Description
Also known as Sand Bass or Silver Bass, the White Bass is a member of the Moronidae or Bass Family.
As its name suggests, the White Bass is primarily colored silvery-white to pale green. Its back is darker, but its belly and sides are white. The White Bass has narrow and dark stripes along the sides of its belly. It has rough scales that are distinctively big; it possesses two dorsal fins. Its body is compressed laterally.
To identify White Bass, look for a lateral line with around 51 to 60 scales. This species also has dorsal fins numbering 12 to 14; anal fin rays, 11 to 14; pectoral fin ray, 15 to 17; and 20 to 25 gill rakers. Another characteristic of the White Bass is its prominent tooth patch near the tip of its tongue.
Diet and Size
As a carnivorous feeder, the White Bass has at least four favorite major diet options: the leptodora, daphnia, cyclopoid copepods, and calanoid copepods. White Bass are visual feeders who will readily bite any live bait especially minnows and worms.
The White Bass can measure up to 10 to 12 inches in length; some are even recorded to have reached 18 inches. Generally, they weigh up to 7 pounds.
Interesting Facts About the White Bass
- The White Bass is Oklahoma’s state fish.
- The White Bass has gained acclaim as a significant sport fish in Manitoba since it was introduced there in the 1960s.
- The White Bass has a “fake” spinous ray. It also has a homocercal tail.
- Female White Bass lay around 240,000 to 930,000 eggs; they spawn from mid-March to late May.
- One unusual mating ritual among the White Bass is how males bump against the female’s abdomen. After that, the female goes near the surface to begin spinning and releasing eggs.
White Bass — Fishing Techniques
The White Bass is very popular among recreational anglers; in fact, this is the fifth most favored species among licensed fishers from Texas.
Once you sight a school of White Bass, make sure to use spinners or spoons along the water surface to entice them. One other common method of luring them is by using bottom fishing at night; you can also utilize live bait.
You can use small jigs as artificial lures; a 1/8 ounce marabou jig should do the trick. For best results, use jigs that are black or white. If you go for soft plastic lures, try the tube bait, or a small jig head with a curly tail grub. One other lure you can utilize is a small jig packed with soft plastic swimbaits; you can have either the 1/8 or ¼ ounce jigs.
Be careful because White Bass are known to be aggressive fighters. However, this struggle may be worth it because of its exceptional taste.
Note that every state may have some regulations as to the size, length, and other factors related to capturing this fish.
White Bass Habitat and Distribution
The White Bass are fairly distributed in the US, especially in the Midwest. They are plenty around Lake Erie and Pennsylvania. Most of the White Bass population are native to Lake Poinsett, Detroit River, Arkansas River, the Great Lakes, and the Red River drainage. They also inhabit the lakes in Winnebago, Wisconsin and the rivers in Mississippi.
This species generally inhabits big rivers and shallow rivers, reservoirs, streams, and creeks. They are often found upstream where there are high densities.
