Proctor Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir along the Leon River located in Comanche County in the U.S. state of Texas, around 3 miles (5 km) west of Proctor, Texas. Proctor Lake Dam and the reservoir are managed by the Fort Worth District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The reservoir was officially impounded in 1963, with a total capacity of 374,200 acre-feet,^[1] and serves to provide flood control and drinking water for the communities downstream, as well as recreation opportunities.^[2]

Recent droughts in the southwestern U.S. have reduced the size of the lake and threatened nearby vegetation.^[3]

Fish populations

Proctor Lake has been stocked with species of fish intended to improve the utility of the reservoir for recreational fishing, including largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, catfish, and white crappie.^[1]
