Livingston Fishing Report

Dec 31, 2025

GOOD. Normal stain; 55 degrees; 0.01 feet above pool. Water conditions on Lake Livingston remain typical for this time of year, with moderately to highly turbid water and fluctuating levels depending on recent rain or drawdowns. Fishing is productive for a variety of species: white bass are actively chasing shad in open water and creeks, with slabs and spoons working best in 10-25 feet. Catfish, especially blues, are biting on cut or drifted bait along river channels and flats. Largemouth bass can be found around wood, brush, and grass edges using plastics, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits. And while crappie and striped bass are present, they are less consistent, with crappie on deeper structure and stripers following bait or current. Weather and water temperature shifts strongly influence the bite, so anglers should adjust tactics accordingly, using shallow, structure-focused presentations during stable conditions and deeper, slower methods after cool fronts.
