Fishing at Lake Somerville Texas
If you are looking for a great place to go fishing, Lake Somerville Texas is it! With multiple parks, 2 marinas, beaches, even restaurants and grocery stores within driving distance, Lake Somerville has everything you need, including fish!
I am a city boy from Houston, but have lived here for over 6 years, sadly, when you are this close to the water, you tend to take it for granted, but, just before I moved here, I drove from Houston and fished almost every weekend! So, if you are coming here from Houston, Austin, or wherever, make sure to bring your friends, a video camera, and your best fishin’ hat. Before you come, make sure you register here and tell us you are on the way, that way, I can tell the fish your comin’, just kidding, but you can share your stories here with others. If you have ome video, you can share that too! So, come on, there are plenty of fish for everybody!
My favorite park is Birch Creek Park, there is a boat ramp, and, it is a State Park, meaning, even if you do not have a fishing license, you can bank fish or go to the pier, where they even have a nice place to clean your fish. Birch Creek Park also has some nice camp sites, and you can bring your horse as well! Soon, I will be adding info on the various parks, their websites and phone numbers, etc. So, make sure that you leave a comment and tell us all about it! Have fun!

If you look at the fishing reports, not much is happening right now, and maybe you are waiting for the new license year, because you didn’t get one last year, like me, and there was no way I was going to pay for one in March, only to use it for another month, anyway, you know where I am coming from, get your license now, so that you won’t have that excuse next time! See ya at the lake!
