If you’re a lake town, then you’re a fishing town. So grab some gear and let’s get to casting. Lake Marble Falls is home to a hearty population of large mouth bass (we’re talking up to 10 pounds). And catfish, striped bass, and even carp are known to swirl just beneath the surface. Fish in splendid solitude, or join in one of the local tournaments. Whether you’re in a kayak, on a SUP, or perched on the banks of Johnson Park, it’s easy to put yourself right where they’re biting.
