2008 Accomplishments

Hybrid Striped Bass Restocking
On April 14th the LBCC stocked the lake with 600,000 Hybrid Striped Bass fry. On May 8th 107,000 Hybrid fingerlings were put in the lake. The fingerlings were a joint effort among the LBCC who bought the fry, Burnet County who paid $9000 for raising them to fingerling size and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept. who put the fish in the water.

Florida Largemouth Stocking
On May 6th and 7th, the TP&W stocked the lake with 500,000 Florida Largemouth Bass. This was done at the urging of the LBCC and is the first stocking of this species in Lake Buchanan since 1978!

Striped Bass Restocking
In May or June, 2008, the TP&W plans to restock with an additional 333,000 Striped Bass fingerlings.

Habitat Improvement
Created a number of brush piles for Crappie and Black Bass habitat in the lake on Feb. 29,2008. You may click here for a pdf file showing the locations and GPS coordinates for them.

2007 Accomplishments

On May 10 and 11, LBCC directors; Clancy Terrell, Jerry Moore, Alan Jankowski and George Bold assisted Steve Magnelia of Texas Parks and Wildlife in restocking the lake with approximately 150,000 Hybrid Striper fingerlings. 300,000 fry were purchased for $1500 by the LBCC and delivered to the Inks Lake Federal Fish Hatchery on April 16th. The $15,000 for growing of the fingerlings was provided by Burnet County from their Hotel/Motel tax fund. This cooperative effort will result in better fishing in Lake Buchanan for years to come.
