“Lake Travis is noted for producing good numbers of large mouth bass, although they tend to run small. Very few trophy large mouth bass have been caught. White bass runs occur in the spring (February-May) in the major creek arms, the Pedernales River and the upper end of the Colorado River arm. A low-density striped bass fishery is available in the extreme lower end of the reservoir. Blue, channel, and flat-head catfish occur throughout the reservoir.”
If scuba diving is your thing, you are in luck, there are several off-shore opportunities including Starnes Island, Wreck Alley, Oasis Wall, Shaker Plant, West Point and Cypress Creek Wall. Arrange for any style of diving: Deep Diving, Night Diving, Navigation, and Exploratory Dives.
