Local Tips & Conditions

Lake Travis bow fishing works best during the warmer months from June through September when fish are more active in shallow water areas. Water clarity on Lake Travis varies by location and recent weather, with the clearest conditions typically found in the main lake areas away from creek mouths. Morning and evening periods often provide the best bow fishing opportunities when fish move into shallower water and visibility remains good. Wind conditions can affect water clarity and bow accuracy, so calm days generally produce better results.

The lake's diverse structure includes rocky points, submerged timber, and grass beds that attract various fish species suitable for bow fishing. Water temperatures during summer months keep fish active throughout the day, though early morning and late afternoon periods typically see increased activity. Guide Wyatt monitors lake conditions and adjusts fishing locations based on water clarity, wind, and fish activity to maximize bow fishing opportunities. This charter works well for beginners since instruction is provided, but some basic coordination helps with bow handling and arrow placement.
