Fish species in Welsh Reservoir

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.

Welsh Reservoir offers channel catfish as well as bass and bluegill. TPWD's assessment makes catfish a more promising starting point than expecting a high-catch bass trip.

Where and how to fish

Look for flooded timber, brush and creek channels. Recycled Christmas-tree habitat provides additional structure, and TPWD maps those locations for anglers. Bass are present at lower density, so spend time on distinct cover instead of covering bare water without a plan. The assessment also describes a limited supply of larger sunfish.

Access and time at the lake

The public ramp is on the west shore around mid-lake, reached from FM 1735 east of Pittsburg. It is a single-lane concrete launch operated by American Electric Power. Plan around a fishing or boat session; the linked access listing does not identify public camping facilities.
