The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, freshwater drum and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Price Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 44°F to 84°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Price Lake that shapes the whole year. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Millsap Lake at 6.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Price Lake for certain.
