While there are several areas around Lake Meredith's shores to fish, easily accessible areas include the docks at Sanford-Yake and Spring Canyon. Other great places to cast a line include the shorelines of Harbor Bay, Cedar Canyon, Chimney Hollow, and Bugbee Canyon

Texas Parks & Wildlife Department has information on licenses and other regulations.
