Texas Parks And Wildlife Department News

After Lake Dunlap sat dry for four years, Texas Parks and Wildlife is stocking it with fish to rebuild the population of bass, catfish and bluegill.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is restocking Lake Dunlap with fish to rebuild the population after the lake sat mostly dry for four years. The lake, which is east of New Braunfels , is created by damming the Guadalupe River . It was drained in 2019 when its dam collapsed, leaving only the natural flow of the river through the exposed lakebed. Construction on a new dam was completed last summer and the lake began filling again, reaching full capacity in October.

will bring in bluegill, channel catfish and Lone Star largemouth bass fingerlings, which are small, young bass. Stocking the lake with adult bass will help the population rebound through reproduction, while also providing immediate fishing opportunities, Corpus Christi District Fisheries Supervisor Dusty McDonald said in a written statement.
