Marble Falls Ramp Makes White Bass Fishing Remarkable
A Texas feature highlights Marble Falls as a white bass haven on Lake Travis below the dam. Dr. C. H. Roper devised a cliffside Ramp to access the water, charging 50 cents per use and offering a cable car ride for anglers. The site attracts anglers from across the region with abundant whites, minnows, and various lures, especially in the tail race and downstream calm waters.
