Lake Tawakoni is known as the “Catfish Capital of Texas”. Blue catfish make up 90% of Lake Tawakonis catfish population. The predominant fish species include black and white crappie, largemouth bass, striped and hybrid striped bass, and white bass. Special catfish limits are in effect on the lake. Please check with Texas Parks and Wildlife to see if those limits have changed or been lifted. Other species of fish in our lake include bluegill, bowfin, channel catfish, blue catfish, flathead catfish, green sunfish, white bass, yellow bass, and longnose and spotted gar fish.

Lake Tawakoni hosts over 30 fishing tournaments a year, and trophy cats are common catches, especially during the winter months.
