Explore the Beauty of Hill Country Ranch

Nestled just 15 minutes from Bandera, Hill Country Ranch spans an impressive 750 acres and features a stunning 28-acre lake. With depths reaching 30 feet at full pool, this lake has a reputation for producing trophy fish, with several catches exceeding 10 lbs. To enhance the fishing experience, bluegill are added annually to enrich the forage base.

The ranch boasts a convenient concrete boat launch, accommodating large fiberglass boats, while a smaller, picturesque 2-acre lake sits below, reaching depths of up to 20 feet. Both lakes are part of an ongoing bluegill feeding program to ensure optimal growth and abundance.

This enchanting location is a must-see, offering breathtaking scenery that rivals any lake in the club. Come experience the natural beauty and exceptional fishing opportunities that Hill Country Ranch has to offer!

Requirements

• Reservation Requirement: A 24-hour advance notice is required to fish at this location.

• Boat Policy: No outside boats are allowed on the premises.

• Harvesting Rules: It is MANDATORY to remove all bass 14 inches and under from this site. After your outing, please report the total number of bass removed to the club office through the online reservation system. Additionally, complete the on-site survey located in the mailbox by the lake.

• Additional Fishing Opportunity: Feel free to fish the small lake located behind the dam.

• Boat Care: After using the boat, please pull it up onto the bank and turn it upside down. Remember to remove any fishing gear, line, and hooks, as these can pose hazards to livestock.

• Picnic Area Maintenance: Close all doors to the picnic area after use to prevent cows from entering and creating a mess.

Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy your fishing adventure!
