FISHING COVER/STRUCTURE
The Twin Coves area has a large
amount of flooded timber. Numerous areas of the lake have shoreline
with large boulders. Boat houses in McPherson Slough attract fish.
FISHING TIPS AND TACTICS
Grapevine Lake has many dropoffs and
underwater structure changes that hold largemouth bass. Rocky
shorelines and boathouses are also good spots for largemouth bass.
The water intake near the dam has a air injection area that attracts
white bass. Twin Coves and the rocky shoreline around this
area are good for catfish and crappie.
Location: On Denton Creek, a tributary of the Elm Fork of the
Trinity River in Tarrant and Denton Counties, just north of the City
of Grapevine
