Ya.. I didnt find out until about a year ago when I was talking to an Old timer that they actually open the gates at sunrise. If you get there before 7:30am the gatehouse is closed and you wont get charged to get in.
As for tips on fishing floyd lamb..
Bass hit early in the summertime at floyd lamb. Best times to catch em are from sunrise til about 10 am and Later in the day from 6pm to closing. I have thrown a bunch of different baits out there and have narrowed it down to a few things that work. Small spoontype lures such as a small 1/4 oz Kastmaster works well when the pond level is high. When the water is low it does not work so well due to all the muck and stuff to get snagged on. Also small 3-4 inch senkos texas rigged weighted and weightless. Colors that work are black, pumpkinseed and Watermelon seed. I also like to throw 4 inch and 7 inch Powerworms texas rigged with small weights for a slower fall. Colors of these worms that have worked for me are Tequila Sunrise, Black, Black with the chartreuse tail and once the sun gets a bit brighter I use the color "Camo"..... Also the best pond to catch bass at floyd lamb is the lowest tier.
Just remember to catch and release all the bass you catch at Floyd lamb. There numbers are small. The more we throw back. The more we will have to catch in the future.
If you want to catch bluegill use a really small size 12 baithook under a bobber with a 12-18 inch leader. You can use redworms, mealworms, and waxworms. Bluegill tend to be more active from 11am-closing.
They stock trout during the winter months at floyd lamb bi-weekly and Catfish during the summer monthly in the upper pond only.
