Ennis Bluebonnet Ridge – Two Lakes, Endless Fishing Opportunities

At Ennis Bluebonnet Ridge, you’re in for a fishing adventure like no other, with two lakes to enjoy during your reservation. Cast your line in Bluebonnet Ridge, the largest lake on the property, or take your chances at the smaller Mesquite Valley Lake. These two lakes are located just 300 yards apart, separated by a small ridge, giving you the flexibility to explore both waters during your visit. And after a day of fishing, don’t miss out on the sushi at the nearby Bristol General Store – a unique local gem!

Lake Highlights:

  • Well-Stocked Waters: This soil conservation lake, built in the late 60s, has been home to numerous double-digit bass over the years. Most of the lake is under 6 feet deep, offering plenty of shallow waters to explore. The water is typically very clear, allowing for easy visibility.
  • Aquatic Vegetation: With about 75% of the lake covered in aquatic vegetation, fishing is best focused in the deeper 6-8 acres of water where bass thrive.
  • Boat Launch: An improved rock ramp makes launching 17' aluminum boats and smaller vessels a breeze.

Mesquite Valley – 8 Acres of Peaceful Fishing

  • Bass and Tranquility: This smaller, deeper lake is great for anglers looking for a more relaxed experience. Test fishing results indicate a plentiful population of 2-4 lb bass, making for an exciting and rewarding catch.
  • Bank Fishing & Dock: With limited vegetation, bank fishing and fishing off the covered dock are excellent options. There is no improved boat ramp, so launching small boats is recommended, and for larger vessels, a 4x4 vehicle is required for safe access.

Bonus: A Unique Dining Experience While you’re at Ennis Bluebonnet Ridge, take a short drive to the Bristol General Store, located about 5 miles from the lake, for an unforgettable dining experience. This quaint, small-town store doubles as a sushi restaurant, offering fresh and outstanding sushi on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They even serve sushi on Wednesday evenings! For those who aren’t fans of sushi, the store also serves breakfast sandwiches in the morning and burgers and chicken sandwiches for lunch. Be sure to check the hours (subject to change) by calling 972-666-2400.

Important Information:

  • Catch and Release: DO NOT harvest any bass from either lake.
  • Fishing Flexibility: You are welcome to fish either or both lakes during your reservation.

Whether you’re fishing for trophy bass in Bluebonnet Ridge or enjoying a more serene experience at Mesquite Valley, Ennis Bluebonnet Ridge offers an exceptional fishing experience. And with a unique dining option nearby, you’ll have everything you need for an unforgettable day on and off the water.

Requirements


  • DO NOT HARVEST ANY BASS AT THIS SITE. You may still remove any crappie or catfish caught and report them to the club office through the online reservation system after your outing

  • Please keep your speed down to 15 mph on all ranch roads. Anything faster is a concern for the ownership and you will not be permitted to return.

  • During times of wet weather we recommend that you park at the top of the hill and walk 200 yards to the boat launch area. The all weather road ends at the top of the hill. When navigating down the hill, try not use the exact tract of previous members. Drive in the same general area, but dont use the exact path. When we wear down the "path" to dirt we will begin to have erosion issues. Driving down will likely provide no issues, but climbing the hill in wet weather may pose a problem. In wet weather you may want to stick with the 8 acre lake only.
