A Fishery Like No Other

Lake Picachos is less than a decade old, but it’s already pumping out trophy bass thanks to a strict management regime, fertile brood stock and an ample population of protein-packed tilapia. During the best times, it’s not unusual for a pair of skilled anglers to catch 200 to 300 fish in a day, and there really are no bad times – the fishery is just so healthy that it’s the perfect place for novices and experts alike to fish until their thumbs are raw. The real question is how do you want to catch them? There may be no better topwater lake on earth, but if you’d like to work on your flipping, or cranking, or your deepwater game, any of those can put you on the best bite of your life. The fly fishing is also exceptional, and some of our best “numbers” days have come on the long rod.
