Yes they catch whites and hybrids also. You may be able to slide a flatbottom down the bank on the west side, south of the low water bridge below the spillway but don't know for sure. I probably crossed that low water bridge 30 or 40 times when I was working up in Tyler last year and launched at the dam ramp but never really payed that much attention to it downstream.
They also catch a lot of white bass on the Neches up above the lake. There is a ramp at the river bridge on 31 just east of Chandler, a small boat will work up there if the river is up, if it's not up you may be dragging it in some places.
My buddy has a place on L Palestine. Last year we went below the dam, and walked downstream about 1/2 a mile. There is no "official" launch there, like mentioned, maybe a kayak or slide a jon boat in.....but when we walked downstream, there were several places where driftwood would have blocked you from going further.
On the upper Neches, there is a decent boat launch by the highway out of Chandler, but not for big bass boats....river is pretty narrow (maybe 30'-40' across) there and some snags also. Saw a few kayaks and small jon boats there.
There is a poorly maintained ramp on the upper lake.......drop money in a can type deal. Will see if I can upload it.
Ok can't upload....Google earth...32 18 00 98 N 95 27 36 41 W
