Bass Fishing on Another Level
Our goal is to make La Perla Ranch the best bass fishing destination in the country — and we're far enough along to offer a limited number of trips to the public.
We run a strict catch-and-release program, with only small bass culled for population control. Ten-pound-plus largemouth bass come out of both the La Perla and Waterworld lakes regularly. On February 19, 2015, a final cast of the day produced the ranch-record 14 lb 3 oz bass — immediately picked up by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Sharelunker program.
As with our deer and upland bird programs, the fishery runs on continuous, intensive management: aggressive forage enhancement, a bimonthly population study with culling, and regular water testing across every lake.
Our packages are built to protect the catch-ability of the fish. Over-fishing trains bass to avoid lures, so we cap the lake to six anglers at a time across a maximum of two boats, and limit total fishing days — including owner and family — to eight per month. That gives the bass roughly 23 undisturbed days for every day fished.

Tackle & Lake Protection
Bring your own tackle, with newly purchased fishing line. We enforce strict controls to prevent contamination from toxic golden algae, which has caused fish kills in other Texas reservoirs — for that reason, we don't allow outside boats on our lakes.
