Fish species in Grapevine Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Grapevine has more variety than its busy suburban setting suggests. Largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass share the lake with white bass, crappie and catfish. Flooded timber and rocky structure give you different places to start.

Where and how to fish

Twin Coves has timber to investigate. McPherson Slough has boathouse cover, while rocky points, boulders and drops offer another bass pattern. For blue catfish, fresh shad is a useful bait. Keep an eye out for schooling white bass when you cross open water.

Access and time at the lake

Meadowmere, Murrell and Twin Coves are among the lakeside access areas. Camping, picnic areas and swimming facilities are available at some parks. The Vineyards ramp is reserved for overnight guests, so do not plan on it as a general public launch. Check Corps notices for closures.
