Waco sits on the Brazos River in Central Texas, offering warm-water fishing within easy reach of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The region centers on Lake Waco, a 7,000-acre reservoir that holds largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie, along with smaller lakes and river access that draw both locals and visiting anglers. The Brazos itself provides a different kind of fishing—moving water with its own character and species mix.
