Lake Marble Falls is narrow, with steep rock, boulders and docks rather than broad grass flats. Largemouth bass and channel catfish are more dependable targets than its smaller crappie population.
Where and how to fish
Work worms or jigs around boathouses and docks. Small crankbaits let you cover bluff banks and boulders. White bass sometimes reach the upper lake below Wirtz Dam in spring, but that shallow, rocky channel requires care. For channel cats, cut bait or prepared bait provides a different way to fish this reservoir.
