Cedar Creek Reservoir

Fishing Cedar Creek Reservoir in Texas

Cedar Creek Reservoir covers 32,623 acres in northeast Texas, about 15 miles west of Athens according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s reservoir guide. This is Cedar Creek Reservoir, also commonly called Cedar Creek Lake; it is separate from Lake Ray Roberts. Its broad arms, shoreline structure, and access points make it a varied destination for boat and bank anglers.

Fish and tactics

TPWD lists largemouth bass, blue, channel, and flathead catfish, white and hybrid striped bass, and crappie. Match presentations to the species and conditions: bass anglers can search cover and points, while crappie anglers can check brush and changing depths. Catfish and schooling bass call for different tackle. Check current reports before choosing an area, since wind and water levels can alter the practical plan.

Access and current rules

Use the TPWD access guide to confirm launch sites and any local restrictions. Corsicana is a nearby city for planning, though the reservoir extends through a wider region. Consult current Texas freshwater bag and length limits before fishing. No verified Cedar Creek guide or trip is advertised here; confirm availability with a provider before booking.
