Caddo Lake was the only natural lake in Texas until it was artificially dammed in 1914. Caddo Indian legend attributes the formation of the lake to a giant flood. Scientists believe the lake formed when floodwaters, blocked by massive log jams on the Red River, backed up into the Cypress Bayou watershed, forming the lake.

Largemouth bass is the most popular sportfish at Caddo Lake with good numbers of trophy-size bass (over 8 lbs) available. The lake also supports quality crappie, white bass, and sunfish fisheries. Channel, blue, and flathead catfish are present and provide good seasonal fishing opportunities. Chain pickerel, a smaller cousin of the northern pike, is also present and frequently sought by anglers because of its sporting qualities.

Caddo began as a natural lake, but was dammed for flood control in the early 1900s. Native and non-native aquatic vegetation covers approximately 95 percent of the lake's surface area in Texas. Inundated baldcypress trees are scattered throughout this comparatively shallow water body and provide excellent fish habitat. Man-made structures such as fishing piers and duck blinds also provide habitat for cover-seeking species.

Although largemouth bass fishing is good throughout the year, the time to fish for trophy fish is spring, with March being the most productive month. Crappie fishing is most productive in winter and early spring with good numbers of legal-size fish available for harvest. Peak fishing time for white bass occurs during winter and early spring in areas where water current is present. Chain pickerel are also good at this time of the year; the best habitat to fish is around submerged aquatic vegetation. Late spring and early summer is a most productive time to fish for sunfishes and catfishes at Caddo Lake.

The fishing on Caddo has been good all week. Fish trees in 3-4ft. of water using Watermelon Red super flukes when the water is calm. If the wind is blowing, you need to switch to a 1/2 oz. jig or a texas rig lizard. Any dark colors are working. Pay attention to the trees with lots of roots. The bigger fish are spawning on the roots. Be sure to have your fishing glasses, if you want to see them. We are still catching good numbers of fish on Traps and Spinnerbaits on grass flats. The fishing will continue to get better the closer we get to the new moon. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
