This large ranch is nestled just a few miles outside of Bandera. Bandera is a quintessential cowboy town and home to Texas Music legends Charlie Robinson, Bruce Robinson and the great Robert Earl Keen. This high fence ranch is an active cattle and horse ranch, home to a large olive orchard, and some incredible exotic animals such as Oryx, Sable and Elk.

But you came for the fishing. The main lake is 18 acres and has some giant bass. There is not much in between the giant bass and bass that are 16 inches and smaller. Most fish will be 13-16 inches but believe us when we tell you there is a population of giant bass in the lake. Our electrofishing survey produced 3 of them. There is a limited amount of cover in the lake. So, the cover (bushes- big hint) that are in the lake hold the fish.

There is a smaller 5-10-acre lake above the big lake and in wet years it is a gem. Again, in wet years there is water below the big lake that can form 3-6-acre ponds. But in most years it will be completely dry. You will want to focus your fun on the big main lake. However, for those looking for a bit more adventure, fish the smaller lake by kayak (not provided) or bank fish the upper lake.

There is a 12 foot jon boat for members to use.
