Fishing at Lost Maples

We're planning a day trip to Lost Maples this weekend (us and a zillion others, I'm sure!) and want to do some fishing. We've never been there before and are curious what kind of fish frequent the river and ponds up there. We are also not avid fishermen and don't know much, if anything, about proper baits, etc. Anyone with that knowledge, please give me a hand. Have a great day!

You're making me wish I'd made note of the park signs along the Maple Trail that specify the various fish species found in the waters! Sadly, all I remember is Guadalupe bass and other bass species, but the latter's about as helpful as if I just told you "there's fish!"

I was hoping to find more species mentioned for the Sabinal River (runs through Lost Maples State Natural Area) on Texas Parks & Wildlife's (TPWD) State Fish Records site,
but there's just one species currently listed -- channel catfish.

Can't help on bait recommendations since I'm not a fisherwoman, though I like a good fish meal as much as the next person!

Hunt around on Google.com a bit and you might find some more info... here's a link for starter's:A Google search for "Sabinal River" + "fish"

Thank you, Shannon. The bass and catfish hints are good. Perhaps someone at Academy can help with bait. I'll do some fishing on Google, as well. Have a great one!!!

Give a shout out to the Lost Maples SNA ranger station, too -- I bet they can rattle off the fish species without breaking a sweat!
