Lake Livingston fishing report
4/30/26
Lake Livingston Lake level is 131.39 ‘ with a discharge of 7,500 cfs.
Trinity River at Riverside is 131.36’
White Bass fishing mid lake and lower lake lake continues to improve with some good catches coming in from traditional hot spots including 190 road bed, Pine Island and Dove Island .
Blue cat fishing off the bulk heads remains good mid lake and lower lake on fresh shad! Water temperature in Bethy Creek was 77’ and clear. With two inches of local rain today and
more expected Friday upper creeks may muddy up and slow the bite for Crappie.
Run off from rains in the Dallas Ft. Worth area will impact the Trinity in coming days!
Good luck fishing Lake Livingston!
