Brady Creek Reservoir, body of water
Brady Creek Reservoir is a large body of water near Brady, Texas, created in 1963 and managed by the city for recreation and water supply. The shoreline features rocky banks, dead trees, and a boulder-lined creek that create fishing and boating opportunities throughout the year.
The reservoir was created in 1963 when water was dammed to supply Brady with drinking water. A golden algae bloom in 2012 temporarily reduced fish populations, but the lake has been slowly recovering since then.
The reservoir serves as a gathering place for the local community, where people meet for fishing trips, boating outings, and community events that bring visitors together. The water body has become central to how residents spend their leisure time and connect with nature.
Spring and fall offer the best visiting conditions with mild temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The reservoir has boat ramps and basic facilities, with local shops and marinas offering bait, gear rentals, and camping options nearby.
An old railroad bed runs beneath the water surface and serves as a hidden fishing hotspot that many anglers seek out for better catches. This submerged structure becomes even more accessible when water levels rise, creating excellent opportunities for different fish species.
