Meredith is a Texas walleye option, with rocky banks and ledges that also suit smallmouth bass. The clearer lower reservoir differs from the red-clay water farther upstream.
Where and how to fish
Spring into early summer is the main walleye period described by TPWD. Drift small jigs with minnows or nightcrawlers slowly around rocky shoreline structure. Lighter tackle can help the presentation. Rock piles, ledges and sharp drops are the features to study rather than searching for broad grass beds. White bass and catfish provide alternatives.
