Benbrook Lake provides many excellent fishing opportunities, especially with its urban location. Texas Parks and Wildlife stocks the lake every few years and Benbrook was one of the first Texas lakes to be stocked with Florida-strain largemouth bass in the early 1980s. The lake record for largemouth bass is over thirteen pounds. White bass, hybrid white/striped bass, crappie, channel and flathead catfish, sunfish, carp and buffalo are abundant in the lake. Spring runs of white bass and hybrids up the river and creek channels especially provide the chance to take fish from the shoreline.

Fishing from the shoreline is allowed in all day use parks. If you wish to fish in a campground , you must be a registered camper. There is no fishing allowed in the developed swim beach areas.

At the time of this post, we do not have any coordinates for existing brush piles in the lake.
