Lakes in the Lone Star State are home to a wide variety of fish species, including bass, crappie, catfish, and sunfish. That is why some of the best fishing in the U.S. is done here, there's always something different to catch. But not all fish in our lakes are healthy to consume.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) monitors fish in the state for the presence of environmental contaminants and alerts the public through bans and advisories when a threat to human health may occur from the consumption of contaminated fish.

Here are the lakes currently on their list:
