- GOOD. Light stain; 60 degrees; 0.03 feet above pool. On Lake Livingston, water levels remain slightly below normal with light stain in most areas, and recent mild weather has stabilized conditions after earlier fronts. Water temperatures are trending through the upper 50s to low 60s, keeping fish in late-winter to early-spring transition patterns. White bass are beginning to stage in creeks and river channels with improving action on jigs and minnows, while catfish are providing steady catches on baited holes and ledges in 10-25 feet using shad, liver, and punch bait. Black bass activity is fair, with fish holding on points, timber, and creek mouths; slow-rolled spinnerbaits, soft plastics, and crankbaits are producing the best results. Overall, fishing should continue to improve with stable warming trends.
