Brady Creek Reservoir
Fauna
Brady Creek Reservoir has been stocked with species of fish intended to improve the utility of the reservoir for recreational fishing. Fish present in Brady Creek Reservoir include largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, and white bass. The local fish populations have gradually been recovering after a golden algae bloom that occurred in February 2012 and the drought conditions last several years.
Flora
On February 13, 2012 the Brady Texas reservoir was impacted by an algae bloom that resulted in fish kills. The algae was identified to be Prymnesium parvum, a golden algae that produces toxins fatal to animals with gills. The Brady Creek Reservoir has limited aquatic vegetation in most areas but there are some submerged plant species and standing timber.
Recreational uses
Boating and fishing on Brady Creek Reservoir are very popular.
