Fishing and Area Lakes
Texas’ best
fishing is just a cast away!
Terrell is located within a triangle formed by three of the
best fishing lakes in Texas. Lakes Ray Hubbard, Tawakoni, and
Fork are all less than an hour drive from Terrell. All three
lakes offer campgrounds, picnic areas, fishing and boating
facilities.
Lake Tawakoni with 57 sq. miles of surface area is
billed as the home of the largest catfish in Texas, a 104-
pound blue cat.
Lake Fork has a national reputation. Eight of the
top 10 largemouth bass caught in Texas, including the state’s largest --
an 18 pound, 2 ounce trophy caught in January, 1992 --
have come from this reservoir located about 45 miles east
of Terrell.
Lake Ray Hubbard is located 12 miles west of Terrell
off highway 80.
Fishing is also available at Cedar Creek Reservoir,
20 miles south of Terrell off Hwy 175.
