Lake Ray Hubbard

Lake Ray Hubbard fishing near Dallas

Texas Parks and Wildlife lists Lake Ray Hubbard at 21,671 acres across Collin, Dallas, Rockwall and Kaufman counties, east of Dallas on the East Fork of the Trinity River. Its reported sport fish include largemouth bass, hybrid striped and white bass, channel and blue catfish, and white crappie. Shallow emergent vegetation and some hydrilla provide bass cover; creek channels, points and open-water structure offer other starting patterns.

Access and seasonal tactics

Consult TPWD’s public access listing for current ramps and facilities. Bass anglers can work vegetation and structure, then move deeper or adjust timing during summer heat. Hybrids and white bass may roam open water; catfish and crappie require their own presentations. Check the latest lake level and conditions before choosing a launch.
