Fishing

One of the standout features of the Ten Triple X Ranch is its abundance of water (just take a look at the map). The ranch is crisscrossed with numerous creeks feeding many lakes and ponds. Some of the largest lakes include Mitchell Lake, Cojo Lake, Dime Lake, Penny Lake, Tuggle Lake, and Newman Lake. These lakes are teaming with Black Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Catfish, Bluegill, and other native species. As you can see from these photos, we have a lot of fun on the water with our family and friends.

The 10xXx Ranch holds fishing “tournaments” every year to stabilize the fish population. To decrease the overpopulation of fish in one lake, the ranch holds a “catch and keep” fishing tournament in which ALL fish fitting a “slot size” are captured and moved to a lake which needs more fish. As an example, when Mitchell Lake was completed we hosted the fish tournament which allowed the ranch to move over 2000 medium to small sized Black Bass (below 3 lb.) from Penny and Dime Lakes to the new Mitchell Lake. The resulting fish move and stocking program has resulted in a healthier and more robust fish population.
