Lake Lyndon B. Johnson

Anglers know Lake Lyndon B. Johnson as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Texas, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lake Lyndon B. Johnson is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
