Little Cypress Lake Overview:

Location:
This stunning 22-acre lake is situated halfway between Winnsboro and Mount Vernon, Texas, offering a peaceful and scenic fishing destination.

Lake Features:
  • Plankton-rich water and an abundance of water willow and smartweed surrounding the lake create an ideal environment for growing big bass.
  • The lake benefits from a thriving population of bass, with many individuals exhibiting relative weights exceeding 100%, indicating healthy, well-fed fish.
  • A unique feature of this lake is the combination of threadfin shad and bluegill populations, making it one of the few lakes with this abundance of forage.
  • The lake is not actively harvesting bass at this time but offers a great opportunity for anglers seeking quality bass fishing.
  • Members can keep all crappie caught.
Boating and Access:
  • Pontoon Boat: There is a 15-foot mini pontoon boat available for members to use, but you'll need to bring your own trolling motor and battery as well as chairs for sitting.
  • Boat Launch: There is an improved rock boat ramp; between the corner of the dam and the dock
  • Bank Fishing: Most of the lake can be bank fished with no problem, the north end is surrounded by heavy trees though and can only be accessed by boat
Fishing Guidelines:
  • Bass Harvesting: There is no bass harvesting at this time, allowing anglers to catch and release bass to help maintain the lake's healthy bass population.
  • Crappie: You may keep all crappie caught in the lake.

Summary:
This 22-acre lake is a bass angler's dream, with abundant forage and a thriving population of trophy bass. The unique combination of threadfin shad and bluegill creates an ideal environment for growing big bass, and the lake offers ample opportunities for both experienced and casual anglers. Members can enjoy fishing from a mini pontoon boat and are encouraged to release all bass while harvesting crappie.
