Twin Buttes Reservoir

9,080 acres • Max depth 46 ft

For anglers near San Angelo, crappie fishing at Twin Buttes Reservoir was exceptional in 2020. Anglers were consistently catching limits, including many fish that measured around 14 inches. Recent population surveys indicated that an excellent crappie population was present. With solid numbers of 5- to 6-inch crappie found in the lake, the next generation is strong, and good fishing should continue for several years to come.
