SAN ANGELO, TX — O.H. Ivie Lake, located about an hour east of San Angelo, has been named the No. 2 bass fishing destination in the country for 2025 by FishingBooker.

The announcement comes ahead of Bass Week 2025, a nationwide event spotlighting top fishing locations across the United States. FishingBooker, an online platform connecting anglers with guides, ranked the lake high on its list due to its reputation for producing trophy-sized bass and its popularity among tournament anglers.
