Lake LBJ is officially known as Lake Lyndon B Johnson. It is located in the Texas Hill Country on the Colorado River just an hour northwest of Austin, Texas.

It is also a popular destination for a weekend of water sports such as wakeboarding, skiing, boating, fishing, and much more. Come and celebrate the 4th of July with a grand annual firework display over Lake LBJ.

Besides the firework displays over the lake, there are plenty of other activities for the entire family including boat parades, water skiing, fishing, and swimming among others.

Take time to explore the countryside or even hike the Enchanted Rock during the day as you wait for the grand firework display at night.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 22)

FAIR. Water stained; 48 degrees; 0.26 feet below pool. Crappie are good in open water in 20-25 feet with orange and chartreuse jigs. White bass are good in 30-35 feet of water with white jigging spoons. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Fishing patterns are similar, just be sure to slow down your approach. Bass are good on rock piles and brush piles on sunny days. Docks always come into play on this lake so if you find the right ones you can catch a mess of bass. Look for deeper docks but if you do not find any bass try the outside edges. There are some nice grass patches around the lake as well and lots of bass can be found around some of those. Baits working are Texas-rigged plastics like worms and craws and wacky rigged stick worms. A shallow to mid crankbait and spinnerbaits are working as well. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs. Largemouth bass can be caught in 7-15 feet of water on the outer edge of grass with shad patterned Alabama rigs, or crawfish colored rattle trap or chatterbait, or dragging senkos or 6 inch trick worms on the outer edge of grass. Some fish are on humps long drawn out points Texas rigs or Carolina rigs, or in boat docks wacky rigged senkos. Report by Charles Whited, Barefoot Fishing Tours.
