Fishing Tales From Highlands Lake Hatchery of Anglers
A weather wary spell muzzles fishing but Highlands Lake anglers still reel in bass and white perch on the north side. Jess Hylton logged 28 bass across four trips, with six daily catches on two days and nine on another, while Red Wilson and Lamb reported multiple large catches. John Christian, Johnnie Gross, and the reporter also fished, totaling six keepers one night, then later 16 more with Sidney Brewer and Rey Martin. Other reports include a 35 pound yellow cat by John Boyd near Wallisville road, and Mrs. Fregia and family fishing Lake Baston for goggle eye and white perch. The Trinity river and nearby bays show variable success with some large goggle eye and white perch, and a new road to Sims Camp improving access.
