Largemouth bass, 14 inches or longer. Bill Evans, Clayton Lake and Lake Roberts.

Lake Roberts, Clayton Lake and Bill Evans Lake are Trophy Bass Waters. These fisheries provide ideal conditions for largemouth bass weighing five pounds or more.

Spearfishing and bow fishing for largemouth bass in these lakes is prohibited.
