| About: -
Habitat on Cooper Lake consist of flooded timber in most of the creeks, along the shoreline and in the
upper half of Cooper Lake. Access to the west half of the lake is through boat
lanes, sedimentation lines and openings in the timber. The main river channel is
a popular area for spring fishing. Numerous small islands and fencerows also
provide structure for largemouth bass anglers. Aquatic vegetation is sparse, but
there are areas of floating aquatics (lotus, water primrose), and native
emergents (cattails, smartweed). The only shore development is at the state park
units. There are no other boat docks or boat houses. Fishing Cooper Lake: Largemouth bass are the most popular sportfish in the reservoir. White bass and hybrid striped bass also provide excellent fisheries especially in the lake's open water areas. Because hybrid striped bass do not reproduce, they are stocked annually by TPWD to maintain the fishery. Crappie fishing is generally good, especially in the lake's abundant standing timber and brush piles. Though channel, blue, and flathead catfish are all present, channel catfish are most abundant and provide an excellent sport fishery. Location: On the Middle and South Forks of the Sulphur River, northwest of Sulphur Springs
in Delta and Hopkins counties |
