About Lake Ray Hubbard

Ray Hubbard Reservoir is a 22,745-acre impoundment constructed on the East Fork of the Trinity River by the City of Dallas in 1968 to provide water for municipal, industrial, and recreational purposes. Ray Hubbard Reservoir lies within Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, and Kaufman counties. The reservoir is part of the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex. The reservoir has a 1,074 square-mile watershed that lies in the Blackland Prairies ecological region. The reservoir is 13 miles long and 3 miles wide (widest point). It contains 452,040 acre-feet of water at conservation elevation (435.5 ft above mean sea level) and has a maximum depth of 40 feet. Bank and boat access are adequate. At the time of sampling the fishery habitat was primarily standing timber, native emergent vegetation, eroded banks, and rocky habitat in the form of riprap. Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) is present and has historically provided fish habitat. However, for the last several years the Hydrilla coverage has been minimal.

In the area above Interstate 30, standing timber is the most abundant structure and cover in Lake Ray Hubbard. Hydrilla is found in certain areas and attracts largemouth bass. The rock riprap along roadways that cross the reservoir is excellent for fishing.

(10/8/23) Water temps 75, water clarity .5-2ft
To follow up the seminar that we just had at Lake pro tackle I went out and fished the exact area we broke down in the seminar. I only had about 2 hours of daylight left so I initially worked my way into the pocket with a shallow crank but had no action on it. As I got into the pocket I immediately targeted areas providing cover with a shakey head. dragging with slow hops triggered the first bite. Then I moved to a vegetation line and got a 2nd bite. A hard area bottom that looked like smaller rocks/pebbles on mega360 held the 3rd bite and a brush/structure pile provided the 4th and biggest bite in the area. Utilizing knowledge gained from the seminar, we converted that into 4 keepers within about 45 minutes. So while there are always resident fish in various areas of the lake, these fish were all caught in less than 5' of water following a predictable and repeatable fall pattern. The 6th sense swing shaker allows the action of a traditional shakey head while also allowing for improved movement through and around cover because of the swinging head. Pair with your preferred and buoyant shakey worm for best results.
